Rashid Khan voiced his frustration over scheduling and logistical arrangements for the competition as Afghanistan would be based in Dubai and travel nearly two hours to Abu Dhabi on match days.
Charith Asalanka joined the events after playing back-to-back T20Is in Zimbabwe on September 6 and 7 and travelling from Harare via South Africa just hours earlier for the Asia Cup.
"I should answer this question tomorrow, I think," Asalanka said with a wry smile, as quoted by ESPNCricinfo. "Right now, I'm feeling very sleepy. It's really hard to play back-to-back games and then travel straightaway. I think we actually need a couple of days off. I hope the coach will give us [that].

Well, I don't think it's ideal - Rashid Khan
Speaking to the media, Rashid Khan openly said that Afghanistan's constant travelling between Dubai and Abu Dhabi is not ideal, but made it clear that they won't complain.
Once you enter the ground, you tend to forget everything else. In other countries, we often fly two-three hours and go straight to the game. I remember flying from Bangladesh to the US once and playing straightaway."
