that in eye, the pattern of 13th edition of Asia Cup has been
changed this time and will be played in T20 format from February 24, 2016 to

India is beginning this series on very high note. Firstly
the white-washed against Australia in Australia and then 2-1 lead over Sri
Lanka. Moreover In form batsman Virat Kohli is coming back in team after resting
against Sri Lanka. But with this good news, there are few concerns also for

properly from his hamstring injury. BCCI does not want to take any risk for
him, because he will be the key player for India in ICC T20 World Cup.
India’s Captain MS Dhoni himself suffered from muscle spasm
during a training session. Southpaw wicket Keeper batsman Parthiv Patel will
join Indian Squad in Bangladesh as a backup of MSD and Bhuvneshwar Kumar is
replacing Shami in squad.
