Asia Cup- Back to Back Game and Player Safety Concerns

[Khota]

Two games back to back and daytime temperature in excess of 45C. Who is responsible for player safety, BCCI or COA.

I say screw this game and let Pakistan pick some cheap points so the team can stay rested.

[Gollum]

Take both India A and Indian main team. Play them alternatively, main team can take on Pakistan and the in form teams, India A will deal with qualifier and weaker teams. If we reach the final, select the best performing XI out of the 22/24 and make them play. Kam se kam youngsters ko exposure to milega.

And what's even worse is the so called richest board in the world can't do  jack* about it.

What if indiaA wins all their respective matches  with all of their players inform and main team looses to Pakistan and again we had to face them in final again?

Coin toss? Or we can make a combined XI for final based on who's in form. Dunno about others but Cool will miss out then.

how can people play cricket in that heat of 45 degrees? Hope no player suffers heat stroke and it is for all players and not just Indians.

scored 0 and 0 in 2 innings.. Just 1 in match before that 

 

 

that makes it -  1 0 0

Another thing which India could do is that bowl first in the Qualifier game and wrap up UAE/Nepal for less than 100 and then finish it within 15 overs and then play next day with full strength team

[Temujin Khaghan]

the inferiority complex of morons like harsha bhogle, sanjay manjrekar and cricinfo editors is such that, had pakistan been in our situation by now these idiots would have cried rivers of blood and beat their chest over the injustice that is being meted out to pakistan by the all powerful BCCI.
