Bangladesh has recalled Najmul Hossain Shanto and Hasan Mahmud for their T20I squad for the Asian Games in September. Litton Das will return as captain after recovering from a hamstring injury.
The Asian Games will take place in Nagoya, Japan, from September 19 to October 4. Hong Kong, China, will field a diverse fencing squad of 24 athletes competing across individual and team events in all three disciplines — foil, épée, and sabre. Their head coach, Zheng Kangzhao, hopes the squad will match or surpass the historic medal haul achieved in the previous edition, where they secured one gold, one silver, and seven bronze medals.
South Korea will be represented by 792 athletes and 260 officials in 41 out of 43 sports at the Asian Games. Their goal is to win about 45 gold medals and finish inside the top three for the 13th consecutive Asiad.
