India unlikely to field cricket teams in Asian Games

The Hindu  

Cricket will make a comeback at the Asian Games in Hangzhou later this year but India, the game’s financial engine, is unlikely to field teams owing to existing commitments. Few expected India’s men’s team to compete in the September Games risking injury to the players ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia from Oct. 16. “As far as the Asian Games in Hangzhou is concerned, a final decision on whether to send both men’s and women’s teams will be taken later and based on our existing commitments,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah told Reuters. But a change in BCCI’s stance has emboldened the governing International Cricket Council's push for cricket’s inclusion in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
