Ankit_sharma03 Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 India will host Asia Cup 2018 in the United Arab Emirates after a unanimous decision was made to that end during a meeting of the executive board of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) on Tuesday, 10 April. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) statement also confirmed that tournament would revert to the one-day format. The previous edition in 2016 was a T20I tournament, largely to facilitate teams’ preparations for the ICC World T20 2016 that followed. "The ACC Board unanimously approved the staging of Asia Cup 2018 in the U.A.E between September 13th-28th, 2018," the BCCI release stated. "India will be hosting the upcoming marquee event of Asia in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.” The 2018 edition will be a six-team affair and will be played in Abu Dhabi and Dubai from 13 September to 28 September. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan are the Full Member sides, and they will be joined by the winner of the Qualifier tournament, with Hong Kong, Singapore, Oman, Nepal, UAE and Malaysia set to fight it out for the final spot. The ACC board also decided that a few matches of the Emerging Teams Asia Cup would be held in Pakistan, with Sri Lanka hosting a majority of the tournament. India are the current holders of the Asia Cup after their defeat of Bangladesh in the finals two years ago in Dhaka. Link- https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/661607
Ankit_sharma03 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Posted July 16, 2018 High chances a lot of young players will get selected. Specially The good thing about that is the bench strength we have in a Rayudu, or a Manish Pandey or Ajinkya Rahane. There are enough spots for each and every eventuality that we might face leading up to the World Cup."- Bangar Hell Raiser, GoldenSun, Adi_91 and 1 other 2 1 1

UrmiSinhaRay Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Dhoni will go as the WK-batsman[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]He is anyways not playing the tests so yeah. Sent from my CPH1609 using Tapatalk Suhaan 1
Zero_Unit Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 I can see Team Pak being super competitive this time around. Most likely will be a ind-pak final. Expecting BD to end up last on the table (LOL)
Austin 3:!6 Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 I dnt see kohli, Bumrah, bhuvi going Rohit will captain ........ If rahane, pandey gets selected on UAE pitches they wud be disaster Hope that is not the case. Cant tolerate another loss against Pak. We must play full strength team. We must thrash them in all 3 games. Kohli, Bumrah etc can rest after that during WI series. Also since marriage, Kohli is playing less and resting more Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Nikhil_cric Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Lol. Two days after the test series? Ridiculous scheduling. We need to pull out of this meaningless tournament. We have a home season and a tour of Australia to prepare for.
Rightarmfast Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 I dont see India proceeding ahead of the semis.
Hell Raiser Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Dhoni on slow wickets in Uae against spinners will be fun, not that he is going to do anything against pacers anyway.
Lala Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Why India cant host the tournament in India? UAE is our second home and we get more cheer and support than any other team. It is very hilarious to see host team get less support from crowd. Reminds me a IPL game some years ago where KKR's was the host team in Ranchi, but when there was a match with CSK, fans went crazy for Dhoni and cheered for CSK. At the end of the game Gambir (Captain) was so annoyed and he yelled to fans that KKR was their home team, not the CSK and must support KKR at least next game. Rightarmfast and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1
Mosher Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 2 days rest what a joke! express bowling and UrmiSinhaRay 2
Iconoclast Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Better idea - scrap this tournament and have an India vs Pakistan test series in UAE. You know you want it ...

Kyon beizzat hona chahta hai bhai? LOIs are Pakistan's best chance to beat India. You think you can beat India in tests in UAE where SL just whitewashed you?
