MUMBAI, (Reuters) – The Indian cricket board (BCCI) will not send a team to this year’s Asian Games in China due to international commitments.
Cricket will make a bow in the 16th edition of the multi-sports event in Guangzhou with the popular Twenty20 format selected for the Nov. 12-27 games. “We would not be able to send our team, both men and women, for the Asian Games in China because of international commitments,” BCCI’s chief administrative officer Ratnakar Shetty told reporters yesterday.
India are scheduled to host New Zealand for a test and one-day series in November.
