The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed the participation of the Indian men's cricket team in the Asian Games, marking their debut at the regional mega sporting event.


According to media reports, the Indian men's cricket team is set to make its debut at the Asian Games after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to field them for the tournament.

The Indian women's team will now be joined by their male counterparts in the mega sporting event which features Twenty20 format cricket competitions.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are likely to miss the Asian Games as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) plans to field a B-Team for the continental games. The squad will be a B team as the A team will be busy playing the ICC Cricket World Cup which is expected to start in India on October 5th.

BCCI will forward the list of players to the Indian Olympic Association before June 30th. With older players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Shami, Bumrah and KL Rahul busy playing the 50 over world Cup, BCCI has made a B-Team with fringe players like Sanju Samson, Ruturaj Gaikwad and to send Umran Malik.

However, a scheduling dispute has arisen as the dates of the Asian Games clash with those of the ICC Cricket World Cup, which is being played in India this year.
Therefore, the men's team will consist of their B squad and no star cricketer will be present in a team at the Asian Games.

The Asian Games will be held in Hangzhou, China from September 23 to October 8, while the World Cup is scheduled to take place from October 5 to November 19.

In addition, teams must participate in warm-up games. The BCCI will submit their roster to the Indian Olympic Association by June 30th.

“We have registrations for all sports except one – cricket (team) is not possible. They said they were busy. We sent them about three to four emails, but when we had to send entries to the organizers, they said they won.” “I'm not going,” Bhupender Bajwa, India's chef de mission for the Asian Games, said earlier an Indian media company.

This isn't the first time BCCI has fielded two of their national teams. In early 1998, the Board sent one team to compete in the Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth Games and another to face Pakistan for the Sahara Cup.

Similarly, in 2021, cricketer Shikhar Dhawan managed a second tier team in Sri Lanka, while Virat Kohli managed a team in England.

Despite repeated requests, the board had previously declined participation in the Asian Games, saying it was concerned.
