Different objectives for India and UAE
UAE will look to make a statement by entering Group A of the Asia Cup. With the UAE T20 League/International League T20 happening next year, there is a lot to look forward to for UAE cricket. A good show in Asia Cup will help the team.
For India, though, nothing less than winning the competition will be the objective. It is needed for the team’s confidence before the 2022 T20 World Cup. Also, the management needs to decide on the T20 WC squad and the Asia Cup will help them do that. The likes of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul will return to the format with this series. It is necessary that they build game time before the T20 World Cup. Hence, these reasons make it a highly important tournament for Rohit Sharma and co.
