This time, for the first time in the Asian Games, the Indian men’s and women’s cricket teams will make their debut in the Asian Games. This means that both the teams will play in the Asian Games for the first time and will be strong contenders to win the gold medal.
India’s men’s team will be led by Rituraj Gaikwad, while the women’s team will be captained by Harmanpreet Kaur. Cricket will be played in T20 format in Asiad. All matches of the women’s and men’s teams will be held at the Pingfeng Cricket Field of Zhejiang University of Technology in Hangzhou.
