Seriously. Whats up with the scheduling?
 
The test team will be gone to India as soon as the ODI series against Pakistan is finished.
 
Think they are going to the UAE as a preparation before the series starts.

ODI team is going to NZ

The sole test folks are going to UAE

Wonder whether all format players like Warner etc will play ANY part in 3 t20 match series vs SL

All players that are apart of the test squad will be leaving to the UAE straight after the VB series against Pakistan.

Of course they won't.

so youre saying that NZ tour squad wont have following:
Smith, Warner, Khwaja, Starc, Hazelwood among others
 
Of course they won't.

who will come to watch them then if no big name (*or even semi big name Aussies) arent there.

I doubt most Aussies know any SL cricketer asides from maybe Herath and Mathews

Hence why they are playing in towns like Geelong

Well I don't particularly rate international T20 outside of cups as anything of any importance.
 
Packed diary hurts our prospects: Warner

Australia's scheduling threatens to leave its top cricketers without the opportunity to become the world's best in all three formats, says David Warner.

The opener has lamented an overlapping timetable which will force him and some teammates to miss next month's three-match Twenty20 series against Sri Lanka.

The Test team begin the first of four matches in India a day after Australia's short-form stars play in their final match against Sri Lanka on February 22.

"It is very, very poor scheduling," Warner told News Corp Australia.

"To have your Test team going away to play a Test match and one-dayers overseas, it doesn't make any sense to us. I don't like it."

Cricket Australia want players to embrace the idea of two national sides playing different formats.

But Warner is concerned about the effect on Australia's bid to win the 2018 World T20 at home after faltering in the quarter-finals in last year's edition in India.

"Those of us who are part of the T20 team have a bigger goal and bigger picture, and that is to win a World Cup," Warner said.

"If we are not playing any T20 cricket in Australia where the next World Cup is meant to be, it becomes quite a tough thing for selectors to work around.

"You want to be putting your best team on the park all the time.

"We have one-day stuff where you can put your foot down and prove some things, but for me it's about playing my best in any of the three formats that you play."
