Asia Cup 2016

[Jackdaws]

It is an irrelevant tournament - no need to be at each others' throats. And T20 is really unpredictable. I feel bad for the Lankans - with Malinga past him prime and no Sanga or Jaya and even Dilshan pushing 40 - they seem like a far cry from 2-3 years ago when they were really formidable.

Chaman bahar that was years ago !!!Current BD team is 10 times better than this Pak team, 3-0 wala dhulai bhul gaye kya? anyways lets discuss rationally, which team do you think will have the upper hand this Asia cup? India or Pakistan?

You are just talking non sense. India was very strong team in 2012( after winning world cup 2011) and 2014 but still they lost matches in asia cup and could not manage to be in final. I never insulted any team but said that any team can win it on their day if hold their nerve and give permanence as per their abilities. It was you who was riding on high horses and was boosting your ego by degrading others If you bother to read your your first post.. Bangladesh is no doubt strong team on home condition and it was not just Pakistan who lost series over there but India and south africa also lost their recent series in Bangladesh so are they weaker team than Bangladesh?

Why are we even playing Asia Cup when World Cup is just round the corner? We should send our B team to see if any of them deserve a seat in National Team.

B teeam ?
You are underestimating asia cup. Didn't we lost the series against bangladesh in this over confidence ?

And it would be good practice before world cup to get into that t20 frame of mind and sharpen the skills.

What if Kohli, Raina, Ashwin or Rohit gets injured just before WC?

Its T20 not One day so they won't get exhausted. If players fear injury then how will they be able to play?

[Ankit Kumar]

Any body has the schedule for this tournament ? And where will the matches be played, only in Dhaka?

This time was our chance but because we had to host ICC T20 World cup too, so BCCI made arrangements with BCB taking into consideration PCB and SLCB.

They can get injured during practice sessions as well. it has happened with lot of the players before.

This is not a excuse to not play a multination tournament.

India are favourites no doubt! However Pakistan will come second. We have been playing good t20s recently and the PSL gave our players a boost! The weakest team is definitely Sri Lanka here. Bangladesh will be a tough side to beat but i don't see them winning this. At the end of the day this is t20 where one over one catch one big over changes the whole match and the home ground advantage doesn't really work here so sorry Bangladesh. Hoping for another cracking 2014 asia cup type match against India!
