SAARC Twenty20 schedule

As we all know, SAARC T20 cricket tournament is being held in Maldives from October 31 to November 7. All the 8 members of SAARC are supposed to be participating in the tournament.

BCCI, due to other commitments will not be able to send its U-25 teams as the senior team, U-19 team and A team will be busy. The domestic tournament is going on at the moment which influenced the decision. As the tournament is being held on the sidelines of the SAARC summit, Maldives government wanted all the team to take part in it, hence BCCI will be represented by Karnataka Institute of Cricket.
