HK captain Khan hoping to learn from Asia Cup clashes
Hong Kong cricket captain Nizakat Khan says his team are looking to use their experience playing against the sport's heavyweights in the Asia Cup  in the United Arab Emirates as "a learning process." Tournament favourites India can book their place in the next stage of the competition with a win over the SAR team on Wednesday evening, Hong Kong time. That's after they beat arch-rivals Pakistan in a tense opening fixture.  The match-up will be the first time Hong Kong have faced India, a cricket-mad powerhouse nation, in a T20 international. The Hong Kong team is largely made up of ex-pats, including Pakistan-born Khan. Sitting alongside head coach and former Ireland captain Trent Johnston, the 30-year-old all-rounder told reporters: "Playing against India and Pakistan is a massive opportunity. We need to make sure we learn from them. We have a nice squad and this is a learning process for us." India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja insisted Rohit Sharma's team would not take anything for granted.  "Definitely we are going to play with a positive mindset and we are not going to take them lightly because in T20 on a given day anything could happen," he said. Hong Kong, an associate cricket nation, made the main draw by winning all their qualifying matches against the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Singapore. After the India match they will face Pakistan on Friday. (AFP)
