The Indian men's cricket team for the Asian Games has been announced. Under the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Team India will present its challenge in the Asian Games for the first time. Earlier media reports said that Shikhar Dhawan could be selected and made the captain, but it did not happen. Dhawan was not selected. The men's cricket competition at the Asian Games will be held from September 28 to October 8 in a T20 format.
The squad selected for the Asian Games has more players who have performed brilliantly in the IPL. Also, one thing has become clear from the selection of these players that they are not in the team management's plan for the World Cup.
Men's squad for Asian Games: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rahul Tripathi, Tilak Verma, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Shivam Mavi, Shivam Dubey, Prabhsimran Singh (wicketkeeper).
Due to this senior players did not get a place
In 2010 and 2014 BCCI did not send the team due to other commitments. This time the men's event will coincide with India's World Cup preparations, hence senior players are not being sent to this continental event. As far as Shikhar Dhawan is concerned, his non-selection has made it very clear that the team management is no longer thinking about him and his career is almost over.
Cricket for the third time in the Asian Games
This will be the third time that cricket will be a part of the Asian Games. Earlier in 2010 and 2014, India did not send either its men's or women's teams to the Asian Games. In the men's cricket competitions, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have won one gold medal each and in women's cricket, Pakistan has won both times.
