4 Nation 'A' tournament next year

Tim

Cricketer Of The Year
To be held in Cairns & Darwin mid-way through next year. Australia, New Zealand, India & Pakistan will feature. There will be one-day, four day & Twenty20 matches.

The Indian A-team will definitely feature young openers Shikhar Dhawan and Robin Uthappa, as well as Raina and Venugopal, as well as Niraj Patel in the middle-order. However, the people in charge have to focus on bowling all-rounders and tearaway pacers, so expect Yusuf Pathan, Joginder Sharma, Munaf Patel, VR Singh and Abid Nabi in the team. And for corn sake, PLEASE don't pick another so-called wicketkeeper-batsman!

Yeah, sounds awesome, but Cairns and Darwin? :(
They dont get anything else... although, I dont know why people in Cairns dont just go to Brisbane.

Whatever it takes!!!
Excellent idea. And is it because of the weather in those places in July/August? I heard that it rains in the traditional centres around that time of the year.

That's a large part of it, yeah. July/August is mid-winter in Australia, but Cairns and Darwin are both warm and fairly dry around then. The last two off-seasons have had tests about that time in those locations, and they've been successful.

Perhaps because it is an expensive flight or a 20 hour drive away?

Right. Keep out all those who've played for India A countless times, such as Bhandari– he's played enough for India A to be considered for the national side– If the selectors don't want him, it's a different matter, but India A doesn't need him.
