Guna: Union Minister for Sports and Youth Welfare Vikram Verma on Monday reiterated that India would not play cricket matches with Pakistan unless the neighbour stopped sponsoring cross-border terrorism.

Verma said a review should be undertaken of the poor performance of the Indian cricket team during its current tour of New Zealand.Cricket is a game of uncertainties, but there is a need to find out why all batsmen failed in New Zealand, the minister said.India has already lost by four-nil the seven match One-day series against New Zealand.
