Tri-Series before Asia Cup (Photo: PTI)
Team India is reported to be announced on August 19 or 20 for the Asia Cup. But there is a report about Pakistan that he can announce his team 48 hours before the start of the tournament. According to the information being received, the reason behind this is being told to the Tri-Series. Prior to the Asia Cup, Pakistan’s team is going to play a tri -series, which is to begin from August 29. Two more teams of this tri-series will be Afghanistan and UAE. According to the report, Pakistan will announce its team for the Asia Cup only after this tri -series.
Not a tri -series, Asia Cup dress rehearsal
Like Pakistan for the Asia Cup, Afghanistan and UAE have also qualified. In such a situation, the Tri -series starting from August 29 will be like a dress rehearsal for the three teams. The good thing is that this tri-series between Pakistan-Afghanistan and UAE is to be played there, where the Asia Cup is also to be held. With this, those teams will get a chance to mold the condition and mood of the pitch.
Tri -series ends on 7 September, Asia Cup from 9 September
The tri-series between Pakistan-Afghanistan and UAE will reach its end on 7 September. While the Asia Cup is to start from 9 September. Now, as reported that Pakistan will choose its team for the Asia Cup only after the end of the Tri -series on 7 September, it means that it will announce its team just 48 hours in advance.
Will the Tri -series team play Asia Cup?
However, how will the Pakistan team be for the Asia Cup, will be known to a large extent after seeing his team of the Tri -series? PCB selectors will choose the same players for this series, who will be playing in the Asia Cup. If no player in the Tri-Series is able to perform well, or was unfit, then Pakistan can see those players replacing them with another player.
Suspense when Babar Azam is elected
This time the Asia Cup is being played in T20 format. In such a situation, it will also be interesting to see whether Pakistan Cricket Board gives Babar Azam a place in it or not? Babar Azam has been out of Pakistan’s T20 team for some time.
