So what?
So we don't have to put up with discrimination. Better to lose than allow people to kick us.

Not getting the point here to be honest.
I can only laugh at the fake arrogance of Indian posters. I got to say if anyone digs their grave deep - its Indian fans. They chest beat all the time on how BCCI is the richest and most powerful yet are crying discrimination and foul when its clear to everyone that their own board is lying and taking them for a ride. Preferring to live in a fool's paradise and telling others that their 2nd XI is enough when deep down they are shivering at the thought of getting crushed again.
The scheduling is poor....I think almost all Pak fans here accepted too barring you. Also, as I previously said BCCI only replied when media asked them about the scheduling. They never intented to take the matter with ACC since they dont value this tournament much. You think they would hv kept quiet if its an ICC tourney?
India will rest its main players almost guaranteed. After playing 5 gruelling tests, you think main players will travel in UAE heat? Just bcoz opposition is Pakistan does not mean BCCI will risk injuries of its players. It will be Nidahas trophy kinda line-up with Rohit as captain and maybe Dhoni will play.
Rohit
Dhawan
Rahul
Iyer/Pant
Raina
Dhoni/Pant
Pandya
Sundar/Kuldeep
Chahal
Sriraj/Thakur
Bumrah? (Maybe)
The team will be something similar to this. Obviously Pak will start as a favorite but they have to play good cricket to beat the above lot.
LOL. Looks like Indian team is going to give you guys a perfect excuse.![]()

Unfair? Yes.
Why speaking now ???
Probably because it provides the perfect smokescreen for an inadvertent loss to Pakistan.
Nobody takes cricket losses seriously in India like how it used to be a decade back,even against Pakistan.
I must say that's an apt defense.
But if you do win, watch the Indian paraders on Pakpassion.
Who said Indian public dont care about Indo-Pak games? I personally love them. But Asia cup is not an important tournament for BCCI...hence they hardly hosts them. With bigger tournaments coming, they will ensure key players are well rested. I can give you in writing (and mark this post) that India will sent very similar team it did sent for Nidahas trophy. It has nothing to do with Pakistan...its about managing workloads of our own players.
BTW did you just compare ICC Champions trophy final with an Asia cup dead rubber game? Sigh

Ok so what you are saying is before the schedule was announced, ACC contacted BCCI and said...hey BCCI we are doing this farce and scheduling back to back games for you team with one involving against Pakistan. And BCCI agreed whole heartedly. Hahaha...this script might work well in bollywood but for sure it didnt happen in real world.
Organizers are obliged to inform the boards about tournament dates so that respective boards can sort out the team logistics. But only ACC members have the right to decide which team will play whom and when.
i think you need to remove your blue tinted glass and admit bcci is equally at fault acc both are
responsible for it but may be i am asking too much........
BCCI may guilty of ignorance or even its own arrogance but why ACC prepared such a schedule targeting only India?
as i said earlier acc have not done right but a strong stance from bcci would have push the acc change the
fixtures
That doesn't make BCCI culprit here.Main culprit is still ACC.If they can't even create a schedule without discrimination they shouldn't handle tourney in future.
than no point of getting upset just play according to schedule .good luck with back to back matches
in uae
We can easily send some fringe players,we have won enough Asia cups already. That's not the issue here,why discrimination?
talk to acc i have no idea
Who said acc have done right? .
You do have idea when any major tournment is organize it is send to the respective board after there confirmation the organizer announced the schedual .So if bcci did not have any problem in first place why they did agree that time and why now just complaining on the media about it?.
And my post was addressing exactly that issue. ACC has made a mockery of themselves and its head along with the individuals who were responsible for preparing this nonsensical schedule should be hold accountable and punished accordingly for this utter mismanagement.
Secondly, it seems BCCI was unaware about the schedule or perhaps ACC later revised the schedule without informing the BCCI to put India in an uncomfortable situation. If BCCI was well aware about this ridiculous scheduling, they wouldn't have made a fuss about it now just because few former cricketers r criticizing the schedule.
India is well within their right to protest against this discrimination, especially when they r the primary team in this tournament and the current title holder. Most people will watch this tournament because of INDIA, not because of all the other comparatively weaker team who all reside at the bottom of the ranking.
So no one have a real answer to this strange scheduling? That too after India is coming from a 5 test series?

You serious? Schedule is finalized after all participating boards agree to it.
Its weird you say Sharma and Dhawan are sure starters. Kohli has had plenty of rest throughout the year, while Sharma and Dhawan have played pretty much every game. Shouldn’t you rest all three to prepare for a long Australian tour?There is no excuse it is just poor scheduling. All Indian players will be back after 2 month long UK tour and many of them might be carrying niggles. The last thing we want is our main players breaking down and missing in action for a long time. India has a hard Australian tour later this year, Asia cup is not important. Rohit Sharma and Dhoni will be sure starters, the rest will be decided only after the tour ends. Kohli is surely not playing.

That's before IPL..now it's really doesn't matter much..even CT lose in final didn't became big news.Few years back it should have been different story.
Also right now in India we have multiple other sports leagues are getting popular so people no longer takes Cricket results as seriously as they used to earlier.
Not bothered,just highlighting the discrimination.This is not a really important tourney any way.
So you spent 20 some posts in this thread doing what, saving the environment or what?
Stay quite or move on to another topic if this Asia Cup is not that important
Just goes to show money ≠ competence/clout.
My bad. So I guess you're expecting Sharma to be the captain? I still don't believe India will send a 2nd string team. Will end up being an absolute disasterI said Dhoni and not Dhawan. Rohit Sharma doesn't play Tests and he will be going to Asia cup after a break of more than a month. He should be fine to play for a week.

Actually this schedule is done solely for Money.Otherwise why should you put a qualifier in between India and Pakistan?
How?
Each side plays the same number of games and the "money making" games aren't even scheduled for prime time. #pseudologic
Source?
Fantastic news...we are talking about a fresh Indian team taking on Pakistan. Hmmm....now we know who will win the game![]()
We already know the outcome, fresh or not![]()
BTW the article reads Kohli will be in Dubai on 15 sept to launch the trophy. Is that confirmed news?? Is the King playing???

India-Pakistan match date likely to be rescheduled
Dubai: The India-Pakistan match in the Asia Cup to be held on September 19 at the Dubai International Stadium is likely to be changed.
It is understood that India want a rescheduling of their fixtures in the Asia Cup matches to be held in UAE from September 15.
As per the present schedule India will be playing back to back matches on September 18 and 19.
Many former cricketers as well officials feel that the match schedule for the India team is too tight and it is wrong to make the team play matches, especially 50-over contests, during two consecutive days.
Though India, the defending champions, will be playing an Asian qualifier on September 18, the need for a change in date has become imperative as they play their arch rivals Pakistan on September 19.
It is after a gap of 12 years that India and Pakistan play each other in the UAE.
Leading the call for the change of schedule is former Indian opener Virender Sehwag. He remarked that he is shocked by the schedule: “No one plays back to back matches now in One Day International matches. It is wrong to have scheduled matches for India in such a manner.”
Sehwag has even pointed out that even when India play T20 matches a two-day gap is given.
“To play two One Day International matches without a break in Dubai’s hot weather is not correct scheduling,” added Sehwag.
India is in Group A along with Pakistan and the qualifier while Group B consists of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
The top two teams from each group will qualify for the Super 4 and while the top two teams from the Super 4 will play the final on September 28 in Dubai.
Many feel that Asia Cricket Council, has created the schedule like they do for a T20 tournament. Incidentally, the Asia Cup, which will be staging their 14th edition, has reverted to its traditional 50-over ODI format this year after opting for a Twenty20 format in 2016 in which India had emerged the champions.
For India, the Asia Cup commences immediately after the end of the five Test series in England.
Incidentally, India will be playing their fifth Test of the series in England from September 7 to 11 which leave some of the players very little time to return to India and fly into Dubai.
Though India play their first match only on September 18, their skipper Virat Kohli is expected here for the trophy launch before the start of the tournament from September 15.
With regard to India playing back-to-back ODIs, many countries now follow a policy of giving at least 48 hours rest for a player to recover before playing their next match.
Asia Cup officials insist that the schedule for the tournament was finalised only after consulting all the teams in the tournament and that the hue and cry over schedule is unwarranted.
