As it stands now, leading up to world cup, we have two matches agasint UAE (who may potentially win a place in Group 2, along with us, in WC), four matches in NZ (two matches each against Pak and NZ), potentially a place in the Tri-nation final, and then two warm up matches against AFG and SA - a total of 8-9 matches building up to WC. There should be no excuse about prep for the WC!
