While the Men in Blue is the reigning T20 World Champions, the Japan cricket team is ranked 41st in the ICC World T20I rankings for teams. Despite the clear differences between the two teams, the Japan cricket team vowed to throw the Shreyas Iyer-led team a strong challenge.
"I can't wait to just get out there, take on the challenge, and I'm really looking forward to it. To represent Japan on the global stage and promote cricket in Japan is something I'm really honoured and proud to do."
The India vs Japan match can inspire many young talents
The match against Shreyas Iyer's side is expected to leave a massive mark on Japanese sports. Cricket is not among the most popular games there, but it has the potential to grow more in the future. Benjamin Ito-Davis in the video further mentioned that if he gets the chance, he will try to inspire the young generation to play cricket, at least once in a lifetime.
Because of the rules of the Asian Games, the home team made multiple changes in the squad, leaving out some of their top talents ahead of the India match and the Games' men's cricket event.
