shailesh Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Cricinfo: Afro-Asian Cup 2007 Bangalore and Chennai to host Afro-Asian Cup Cricinfo staff April 5, 2007 The dates for the second Afro-Asian Cup one-day series, which is being staged in India, have been announced. The three matches, which the ICC have granted full ODI status, will be played in Chennai (June 6) and Bangalore (June 9 and 10). All games will start at 2.30pm and will be day-night matches. The organisers have said that the two sides will be known as the Asian Tigers and the African Lions. The timing is slightly surprising given that it is in the monsoon season, but such are the demands on the teams that it was one of the few free periods in the calendar. India will have just finished their series against Bangladesh, and none of the other countries who will supply players are in action. The first staging of the tournament, which is a fund-raiser for the African Cricket Association and the Asian Cricket Council, was in South Africa in August 2005. On that occasion the outfields had to be painted green for television audiences, so far out of the normal season were the games played. :wall: :shrug: Link to comment
King Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Re: Afro-Asian Cup/Another garbage odi series in June Waste of time. I don't understand why ICC wants to promote this despite the crashing of the ICC world XI vs Australia series couple of years ago. Awarding a festival match like this an official status is a joke.
