Asian Games and ODI World Cup will be held simultaneously

The ODI World Cup will also be held in India at the same time as the Asian Games. In such a case the men's B team will be sent to the Asian Games. According to sources, BCCI will send a strong team with prominent women players in this event. This time the Asian Games are scheduled to be held from September 23 to October 8. While the World Cup can be organized from 5 to 23 October. The BCCI will send the list of players who will be sent to play in the Asian Games before June 30.

The team had not been sent to the Asian Games before

Earlier BCCI did not send Indian men's or women's team to the Asian Games in 2010 and 2014. Cricket has been included in the Asian Games schedule to be held in Hangzhou, China. The Asian Games held in Jakarta in 2018 did not host a cricket event. In the Commonwealth Games held in England last year, the Indian women's team performed brilliantly in the cricket event. The team made it to the finals. In this match, he had to face defeat against Australia. However, the team managed to win the silver medal.
