The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has addressed concerns over accommodation and logistical arrangements for the Indian cricket teams competing in the upcoming Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya. Secretary Devajit Saikia assured that there are currently no immediate issues, but promised that the board would step in if necessary to ensure the best facilities for the players.
The Japan Cricket Association (JCA) had previously mentioned that teams were offered hotel accommodations, and players were free to make their own arrangements. Saikia emphasized the board's confidence in India's arrangements and stated that they would create their own system if required. The reassurance follows wide-ranging logistical questions surrounding the event, which organizers confirmed would accommodate all registered athletes, officials, and participants across various venues, including hotels, temporary accommodations, and a cruise ship.
India enters the Asian Games as defending champions in men's and women's T20 cricket, with teams led by Shreyas Iyer and Harmanpreet Kaur, respectively. BCCI's VVS Laxman will take charge of the men's side, while the women's team will be coached by Amol Muzumdar, with Aavishkar Salvi and Munish Bali as assistants.
