These are not just India's fixtures but they appear to be involved in most of the missing fixtures. In the game India play in the World T20, then they next play in December. However, in real life they play many games in this time.
Zimbabwe host a Triangular Series - India, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe
The Asia Cup is played in Asia - India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh
Sri Lanka host a 3 match Test Series - India, Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka host a Triangular Series - India, Sri Lanka, New Zealand
India host a 2 Test Series - India, Australia
India host an ODI Series - India, Australia
I can undertand that the Aisa Cup is similar to the Champions Cup and while I am disappointed it's not included as I feel that cups and triangular series' mix the game up nicely and adds to the excitement and enjoyment of the game I can accept this. I also understand that some of these fixtures may have been planned late but can't they be patched in, or is it not as simple as that?
The fixtures later in the year are also wrong (/have been changed, the later for obvious reasons).
India now no longer host Bangladesh. They host New Zealand.
India now no longer tour Pakistan. They tour South Africa.
Is there any particular reason for this from the games point of view or is it just a combination of the BCCI messing with fixtures and planning them late and the situation in Pakistan???
