The 2012 Asia Cup, the 11th edition of this tournament, will be held in Bangladesh.China was interested to host the Asia cup at Guangzhou but it was decided by the Asian Cricket Council that Bangladesh will host the event. It will be the third time Bangladesh will host the event.
The event was supposed to be hosted from 1 March 2012 to 11 March 2012. But it is rescheduled to avoid conflicting with the ODI tri-series in Australia that also includes Sri Lanka and India, which is ending on March 8. Now the tournament will be played from 11 March to 22 March.
The teams in the event are hosts Bangladesh, defending 2010 Asia Cup Champions India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
And for Azhar Ali, he should def be in the squad or can be played in place of Shahzad as opener if the team management wants a stable opener instead of an attacking one. Once Misbah goes, Azhar should automatically find his place in the team!
The team we should be expecting should be based on ability and unfortunately we have seen that most of the current team lacks ability. The team that I would recommend is Kamran akmal (im no fan of his wicket keeping), Ahmed shahzad, Asad shafiq, Umar akmal (wk), Misbah ul haq/Younis khan, Hammad azam, Abdul razzaq, Shahid afridi (c), Saeed ajmal, Umar gul (if hes in rhythm lol), Wahab riaz (bowl over wicket to left handers and around wicket to right handers).Rameez raja, Imran nazir (sent down the order as a hitter), Mohammad talha, mohammad hafeez (even though hes rubbish), these would be the subs.

Asia Cup 2012 Schedule and Time Table will begin on Monday, March 12, 2012 in Bangladesh as per cricket schedule announced. 2012 Asia Cup is an international tournament to be organized by Bangladesh. Asia Cup 2012 will consist of 6 ODI and 1 Final match. to be hosted by Bangladesh in March 2012.
The Asia Cup 2012 tournament is a part of Future Cricket Tour Programs (FTP) prepared by International Cricket Council (ICC). Bangladesh will host this tournament, beginning on March 12, 2012. In Asia Cup 2012 bilateral series, first ODI match would be between Bangladesh – Pakistan on Mar 12, 2012 at 14:30 local time to be played at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur.
It will be an even contest. Each team will play each other one times. Over all, there will be 11 One Day International matches in the preliminary rounds. The top two teams will move into the finals. After the recent success in the World Cup, the Indian contingent about the series, and is well prepared. On the other hand, the runners up of World Cup 2011 - Sri Lanka, are optimistic about doing well in the series. With a new captain, they are a better and more determined side.
Pakistan Team Squad Asia Cup 2012 is most fantasized squad because after the loosing the Match Against England in T20 now Captaincy and Team Changes are essential. Hafeez's performence doesn't warrant him a place. With this squad, we will have two explosive openers who can take advantage of PP. Then Shafeeq and Misbah stabilizes the middle order and after that, the likes of Akmal, Hammad and Afridi can take charge in the last 15-20 overs. Jamal Anwar needs to be given a proper chance before we revert back to Mr. Kamran AKmal who would continue dropping sitters and costing his team matches!And for Azhar Ali, he should def be in the squad or can be played in place of Shahzad as opener if the team management wants a stable opener instead of an attacking one. Once Misbah goes, Azhar should automatically find his place in the team!
