India's middle order will once again be the focus of the five national selectors when they meet at the BCCI headquarters today to pick the team for Asia Cup that will be played from September 15 to 28 in the United Arabs Emirates (UAE).

With just 13 more ODIs to be played [5 v West Indies, 3 v Australia and 5 v New Zealand] after the Asia Cup outing, the Indian team management would be looking to get their middle order firmly in place, so that the bilateral series could provide ample opportunities to the unit to get into the groove before next year's World Cup. India experimented with KL Rahul at the much-debated No. 4 position during the three ODIs in England, but the elegant batsman returned scored just nine runs in the first two matches.
