I have yet to see a clear utterance from the ACC that this tourney’s schedule was pre-aligned with all the boards

What the heck, a super 4?
What was wrong with a simple Asia Cup format with India Pak SL and Bangladesh.
Viru at it again with statements that'll get him in the limelight. I agree that playing 2 back to back matches is overkill but refusing to take part in the tournament is an overreaction.
Their arrogance because of $$ is speaking. Post 2007, everyone in that Indian team has suddenly became legends. Its true, few were really legends like Sachin, Dravid, and Laxman. Others, like Zaheer Khan, Yuvi, Bhajji, Viru, common man, they were very good in their time, but not legendary status that they have received.
Only player Indian fans don't treat well is MSD. he was once in a century player, like Gilchrist. Yet, Indian fans, criticize him. He deserve more respect than others so called not so very bad players.
Real Legends:
Sachin, Dravid, Laxman, Kumble
Over hyped :
Zaheer Khan, Bhajji, Yuvi, Sehwag
Someone who deserve more respect:
MSD, Ganguly
Just change 16th and 18th matches. Let India play with qualifier on 16th and Pak play with qualifier on 18th. No big deal as all above mentioned matches in Dubai. No one will die.
The tickets would already be sold. Its not thar simple.
And in present XI:
Legendary :
Kohli
Someone who deserve more respect:
Rahane, Bhuvi,Ashwin, Rohit
Overhyped:
all others
Over over overhyped:
Dinesh Karthik[ even their Nayan Mongia was better than this]

Msd is criticised for his recent performances, he has a huge fanbase in india, even bigger than virat kohli.Their arrogance because of $$ is speaking.

Deano is right. The point is that Test are played in five consecutive days with about 90 overs in each. I don't see why any team should be crying about being asked to play two one days similarly. Stop crying India, get on with it.
Would you have the same comment if Pak had to play with qualifier on day 1 and on next day with India? Very difficult to answer for you because you are not in position to reply or advice anyone.
Sehwag is actually underrated.
With all his failures abroad, he literally killed tests when he got going in 3 sessions by plundering runs.
If you score at a faster pace in tests, you bat the opposition out of the game.
Yuvraj is a T20 great and is overrated in ODI to an extent.
MSD is amazing just he has got older.
Harbhajan is overrated and ZAK has some performances at least to back it up in World Cup.
Of course I am in a position to make a comment. To bad for you that India is being told to play on two consecutive days so whoever is arranging the tournament agree's with me. Yes, I would be fine if Pak were asked to play on two consecutive days. If they can do it in Test matches can do so on one day's as well. Get on with it!
Good to know there is no difference between playing ODIs and tests.
In terms of stamina required it is similar. Another thing is that one day teams are mostly very different to test ones. Being asked to play two one days in the same number of days is not the end of the world. There can be no special rules for India who make a fuss about everything
I agree with you regarding stamina but question is why it has to be with one team? Its bit unfair in my opinion, if India does not mind it then who we are to complain?
It's not a proper dead rubber.
Group A's winner = All matches in Dubai (including final)
Group A's runner-up = Split between Dubai and Abu Dhabi
That's a lot of additional game time where the final will be hosted. You get to adjust to the conditions, learn how the pitch plays, and everything else that comes with a specific venue.
Do teams carry points forward from the first round?
They didn't last time they used this format in 2008.

Nonsense logic by both you and Dean Jones, as usual.
In tests both teams play back-to-back days of cricket. Here only one team is forced to do that while the other gets rest days.
BCCI agreed to the itinerary before it was implemented.

Hmm would have been good if they did. It would have avoided having any potential dead rubbers
Any reason why India should play 2 consecutive days while others get rest days?
I think it has more to do with the unfair advantage.
India is the only team facing a back-to-back in this tournament. It should be everyone or no one, especially in tournaments.
No one would take kindly to this if it happened to Pakistan in a WC.
Schedule should be changed. They can have Ban vs Afg on 19th and Ind vs Pak on 20th. I don't think it is that difficult to change.
