Kitply Cup - anybody interested?

A rather inconsequential ODI tri-series involving India, Pakistan and Bangladesh begins today in Dhaka. With the teams themselves treating the series as practice matches for the upcoming Asia Cup, not too many are interested in the Kitply cup. Nevertheless, it could still provide answers to some questions arising on the heels of the IPL Twenty20 extravaganza.

After being used to weeks of hectic Twenty20 cricket, will fans find the ODIs slow paced?

Will the players be able to adjust their style of play for the longer version?

With the IPL being a hit in Pakistan and the Indians having cheered Tanvir and Akhtar, will an India-Pakistan encounter evoke the same partisan passion as before?

With Tendulkar injured, Dhoni for the first time gets a chance to field a team of youngsters for a full series. Can the youngsters impress?

Will Yusuf Pathan and Manpreet Gony, drafted in to the team based on their excellent performances in IPL, prove skillful in the 50-50 format?

Well, we don't have to wait long to find out.
