The men's cricket competition at the Asian Games is scheduled to be played in the T20 format from September 17 to October 3 at Karogi Athletic Park in Japan. The tournament will overlap with another major international assignment for India, forcing the BCCI to manage two separate squads during a busy period.
The report added that Gautam Gambhir will continue with the senior Indian team and will not be part of the Asian Games setup. He is expected to focus on India's white-ball home series against the West Indies, which is scheduled during the same period.
