'I think the gap you are witnessing between an associate nation and a Test playing nation can be reduced only when you play more cricket together. If you play a game once in two or three years, the difference will remain. I think it is a good learning experience for all the associate teams in this Asia Cup, and more such matches are needed against Test-playing nations. Only then can the standard improve and the gap be filled, otherwise it will not,' Mahmood said at the post-match press conference.
