Inzamam-ul-Haq and Sourav Ganguly have said that India and Pakistan must play against each other regularly.

The two captains had a similar opinion as regards resumption of bilateral ties between the two countries at the Aaj Tak Cricket Salaam conclave.

"It's unfair if the two countries do not play cricket. It's bigger than Ashes. There is more following," Inzamam said.

Ganguly also recalled the good time he spent in the 2004 tour of Pakistan. 

"That was one of the best tours. The hospitality was amazing. We want more tours like that," Ganguly said.
