NEW DELHI, Sept 9: Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar wants someone to find the "real story" behind Asia Cup 'Super Four' matches not being shifted out of Colombo to a much drier Hambantota and feels at times, even players need to look at the "bigger picture".
The Asia Cup, which is being hosted by PCB, is being held in a 'Hybrid Model' with India playing all their matches in Sri Lanka after refusing to travel to Pakistan.
With heavy rains predicted in Colombo through the week, there were talks of shifting matches to Hambantota but Asian Cricket Council has stuck to its original itinerary.
"Well, somebody should find the real story. It appears from cricketing points, that it was probably the players who didn't want to go to Hambantota.
"So administrators, had to at last moment, change it from Hambantota to Colombo despite knowing Colombo could have pretty dicey weather," Gavaskar told 'Sports Today'.
But the former India captain clarified that he was not referring to players from any particular country.
