Ok, I get that India use their power at the ICC to oppress against Pakistan. But which entitled prick feels he has the right to request this?

The draft schedule has them playing Australia in Bengaluru and Afghanistan in Chennai

I'm not even sure if Chennai favours Afghanistan more than Pakistan. I don't think Afghanistan have a straight arm ball darter like Nawaz/Wasim who would be important in Chennai unless they've unearthed someone new, the best they can do is ask Rashid and Mujeeb to bowl quickly through the air to attain something similar.

They are trying to play at fields that would give them advantage. Playing Afghanistan in Chennai would give both team equal advantage with their 3 spinners and playing Australia in Bangalore will give both seam attacks equal chances.

Yeah it’s very stupid thinking by the PCB.
It’s not even done in a clever way, they could have simply said that they want all their matches at one venue for security reasons, apart from the India match.

At this point, I just want the schedule out. Even the first Ashes test is done!

Using the rules to your advantage is entitlement?

Who has the audacity to believe organisers will actually change it because they want to be favorites, I mean.

Funny how they launched the trophy into space, announced a trophy tour, yet no signs of the schedule with about 100 days to go for the main event.

Pretty much 15 games that I have access to- Pune, Mumbai and Ahmedabad. Some good games at these locations too. Hoping to catch at least 2-3.

Checked this in detail- dont get the logic of having 6 day games.
Dharamsala x 2, Chennai, Lucknow, Bangalore, Pune

The locations don't make any sense as we are looking at winters. Esepcially Dharamsala & Lucknow, where there could be delays. With Bangalore and Pune, the weather can be tricky during winters, but doesnt make a pressing case for a day game.

Seems odd that the hosts don't play the opening match
