While I understand that we must have the capability to beat the rest of the five teams, I still don't get why we will have to play the qualifiers of a tournament being staged in Bangladesh. I mean, seriously, does losing against a team or two in the qualifiers really imply that we will not be able to beat any of the G8 teams or to put it in a better way, do better than a few of the G8 teams?
What part of 'HOST' doesn't the ICC understand? I already feel as if we don't have the Test status. We are an associate Nation.
Whatever others may say here, this is clear injustice and a direct hit at our reputation. Would Australia be playing the qualifiers if they were ranked 9 now? (Which they were, just a year back)
