i thought Bangladesh decided not to play? its right in the middle of English tour

 

[drainpipe32]

Aren't countries like Hong Kong and the U.A.E usually involved? I was looking forward to seeing Afghanistan....

 

[pcfan123]

Afghanistan do have ODI status now, hopefully they are included. Actually looking forward to this, or any form of International cricket. Its been a long april so far

 

[AkshayS]

Want some more teams like Afganishtan and Hongkong.
It would be a fun to watch.

 

[p.o.l]

I dont think so they are going to include Afghanistan and Hong Kong because where i saw it says there is going to be 4 teams this year.

 

[sami ullah khan]

India are easily the strongest team and favorites in my opinion. Sri Lanka are the second best and Pakistan will play as under dogs. Bangladesh will look to put pressure on Pakistan as they are weakest of the lot.

 

[Cricketman]

India have a history of choking in this tournament. Especially that it is being played in Sri Lanka, I may tip them as being favorites to lift the cup. Defo an important fixture though, for World Cup preperations.

 

[aditya123]

I agree with people here. Afghanistan should`ve got a chance. That would`ve given them some exposure at the Intl. level against good ODI sides which is one important feature of the Asia Cup. The event should include the emering nations in Asia. The format of the last Asia Cup was good enough. It was`nt too long and gave smaller sides some exposure.

So Bangladesh are playing.

 

[Paki007]

only four countries? that's strange i see india and Srilanka in the final

And no chance again for pak

 

[khalek]

4 teams only? Further proof that 50-over cricket is as good as dead. No Sharjah cup, no tri-series in Australia/England, Champions Trophy and Asia cup being shortened now.

 

[Iridium]

I would've liked Hong Kong and UAE included. Weren't they in the last Asia Cup? We don't really see them at all these days, it would be good to have them get international exposure despite the odd thrashing.

 

[Prithvi]

Damn!


Why not in India?

Only matches at Dambulla!

I reckon Sri lanka cricket has some big problem with their cricket grounds and movement of players!

I surely don`t think so. Recently ODIs have been really good. In think it would be good to keep the people asking for more ODIs and Tests which would be the case with the T20 overkill. If we cutdown on the number of pointless ODI series like the random bilateral series or the tri series we had in Bangladesh earlier this year, we`d have ODIs in really good health.

I think we should stick to a maximum of 5 ODIs during a bilateral series. Stop the pointless ODI series which are played outside of the FTP tours. We should only have the Asia Cup, Champions Trophy and the World Cup as the non FTP (bilateral tours) ODI events.

I think the Premadasa is undergoing renovation.
