Asian Games 2026: BCCI considers sending India's second-string team to Japan over poor player facilities - report
BCCI is mulling over sending a second-string 'B' squad to Japan due to major concerns over tented dressing rooms and cramped hotel sizes in Nagoya.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may field a second-string team at the 2026 Asian Games in Japan due to concerns over player facilities, according to reports. The issues include tent-based dressing rooms with washrooms located 500 meters away, and small hotel rooms. India, as the defending champions from the 2023 Hangzhou Games, would be competing in the men's T20 tournament from September 24 to October 3.
Both the BCCI and the Asian Cricket Council have expressed dissatisfaction with the current arrangements. India may send a team that is not the full squad to address these concerns, but there is a risk this could backfire if the facilities are ultimately resolved.
