More ODIs with Pak in Bangaldesh. Looks like Bangladesh will never tour India and always host India eternally!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------- Series set for May 2008 India, Pakistan and Bangladesh to face-off in tri-series November 12, 2007 India's hectic international schedule just got busier, with the Indian board confirming the team's participation in a tri-series in Bangladesh in May 2008, also involving Pakistan. The series is scheduled shortly after the South Africans wind up their tour of India, set to take place after India return from Australia in March. "We can confirm that India will participate in the series with Bangladesh and Pakistan," Niranjan Shah, the BCCI secretary, told Cricinfo. "The fixtures and dates will be announced in 10-15 days' time." South Africa were originally set to participate in the series but pulled out, and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had invited Pakistan instead. "Originally the South African team was to participate in the tri-nation series along with India and Bangladesh," Gazi Ashraf Hossain, the BCB's operations chief, told Cricket365.com. "However, Cricket South Africa (CSA) has pulled out and we have invited the Pakistan Cricket Board to send the team and they have agreed." The three sides last met in a tri-series in Bangladesh in 1998, with India edging out Pakistan in a best-of-three finals. This series will have the teams playing each other twice in the league stages before the final.

BCCI are so concerned about ODI and T20 and the 'money-making' forms of the game, that they do not realise that we have a Test side that has been teetering in the top 3 for a while now, yet they have not played nearly as many tests as Australia and England (except for this year) Also, I am sick ofIndia vs Bangladesh. I am prepared to see India slide down the rankings if it means more games against Australia, RSA, England and Lanka. If we dont consistently play the top teams , how can we ever expect to be one ourselves. Im happy to see more games against Australia over the next few years, but this is a tour we dont need. We just played 3 ODIs against Bangladesh earlier this year and are now playing Pakistan.
