Afghanistan is based in Dubai, but for each of its three group matches it will travel to Abu Dhabi for almost two hours. “Playing in Abu Dhabi and staying here in Dubai for all three games … It’s different. But as a professional cricket, we have to accept these things,” added Rashid, the leading goal in the T20i history with 170 scalp.Despite his criticism, Rashid noted that players had to focus on the job. “As soon as you enter the ground, you tend to forget everything else. In other countries we often fly two or three hours and go straight into the game.Sri Lankan Captain Charith Asala, who joined the press after exhausting matches with his back together in Zimbabwe, was just as honest. “I feel very sleepy right now. I should answer it tomorrow,” he joked as he asked his schedule.However, asolananek humor quickly retreated. “No, I think it’s really hard to play in Zimbabwe 6 and 7 September and then travel here immediately. I think we actually have to have a few days off. I hope the coach will give us,” he said.Sri Lanka emphasized the importance of recovery in extreme heat. “It is important to take care of our condition. And we all know it is really hot. And for me it is really important to keep fresh and give 100 percent in the first game,” he added.Sri Lanka launched the Asia Cup campaign against Bangladesh 13. September, while Rashid’s Afghanistan faces Hong Kong later on Tuesday evening in Abu Dhabi.
