This is the same Indian side that wants a break and so can't tour Bangladesh is it...

Funny how when $$$ are put on the table they forget the tiredness (this game, the tri-series in Holland, ...)

They're all singing along to the same tune now.

"And it's one for the money,
Two for the dough,
Three to get readies,
Now go, cash go"

etc.

But Bang'sh was a whole tour, this is just a 1-off game and who else better than Ind/Pak for inaugural game in Abu dhabi

Yes, but this is now a one-off game and a limited overs Tournament that they can play.

Will the "tired" players stop at that or should we expect a few more money-grabbing series to be scheduled?

I wish the govt pulls the string on this one and bans India-Pak matches again. The moment govt gives this BCCI a free hand, these morons are at again, they have started organizing useless matches are useless venues.

Surprising how SRT isn't playing, Im sure it'd be a different case if it was sponsered by TVS Victor or MRF.

It is embarrassing to see how the BCCI is so obcessed with Pakistan. Even when the govt okayed matches between Ind-Pak, BCCI was so happy that it hurriedly informed PCB about it and scheduled a series so quickly. I recently read that there will two series at the end of the season comprising of 6 onedayers and add to that the Asia Cup, Holland, CT,etc,. All in one season :-O

This should be a match for young players to announce themselves. This may make a good team- totally second-string, except for Sehwag, Yuvraj, Irfan and Balaji. The rest can be a fresh bunch of non-regulars.

I think it is a meaningless match and it should not happen. As sanz said as soon as BCCI got the permission, now they are going over the top. There is going to be a series of 6 ODIs, the Asia Cup in SL, a tri series in Holland and now THIS. They should stop playing all these meaningless series like this one and the triseries in holland.

How about fulfilling you international commitments first and then give little rest to players. IMO TVS Cup and VB series were waste. I mean First Aus comes to India and plays 10 ODIs, then India goes to Australia and plays another 10 ODIs, I had lost interest in VB series because of too many games.

And If we play 50 ODIs against Pakistan and Australia in One Year, I will definately lose interest.

No way! These 2 series were very important for the Indians, since they featured the Australian team- opposition who play serious cricket. They have just won a World Cup and every other ODI series in which they have figured. This is not meaningless, is it? No team or player is a proven success until proven against Australia.

Even otherwise, such events should be used to test and tune the bench strength in the Idnian team and keep other options ready. This should be a good opportunity for the likes of Gambhir, Chopra, Salvi, Bhandari, Mishra, Ramesh Powar and Rohan Gavaskar. The idea of resting 5 key players before the TVS Cup in Dhaka was a good one, since it gave these young players a chance at the highest (almost) level.
