given the lowest ranked asian teams i guess our team can afford to rest our star players or at lease few and give few young blood/ bench players a chance to get a feel of international stage.. so that exhaustion is avoided
In second round we will play 4 home and 4 away games as it is going to be 40 teams in groups of 5. Then next we'll have Asia Cup Qualifiers in case we dont make it to 3 round of WCQ(Which we will definitely not make). ACQ will again have 24 teams in groups of 4 teams each playing 3 H & A games.
@ashindia They need to select 40 teams out of 46. So teams with ranking of 34th in Asia will be directly in 2nd Round. From 35th to 46th will play one off First Round to play for best 6 teams which can be added to 34+6 = 40. Right now India is 30th so safe. With no International game coming up, its ranking may fall down.
