There will be dream for up coming generations to see international cricket
Indeed.. the stubbornness stated by @BCCI affected the much hyped and crowd puller india pakistan match which directly impacted the srilankan cricket board and pakistan cricket board . The spectators are highly disappointed and tomorrow also there are high chances of washout.

What will happen if the IND vs PAK reserve day also gets washed out?
As per the weather reports there is 93 percent chance of rain on September 11. However, if the reserve day ends up in a washout, both teams will share 1 point each.
