Veteran cricketer Kapil Dev opined that it would be best to leave it to the Union Government to take a decision on whether India should play against Pakistan in the upcoming cricket World Cup.

"To play or not to play is something which does not have to be decided by people like us. It has to be decided by the government. It's better if we don't give an opinion and leave it to the government and concerned people. Whatever they decide will be in the interest of the nation. We'll do what they want," he said at an event here on Friday.
