Asian Games 2023 Cricket:
The Asian Games 2023, which are set to take place in Hangzhou, the People’s Republic of China, from September 23 to October 8, will feature a 15-member Indian men’s cricket team and five standby players, according to the announcement made by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday. The men’s cricket event at the Asian Games 2023, to be played in the T20 format, will take place from September 28 to October 8. All the matches will be played at the Zhejiang University of Technology Pingfeng Cricket Field. India will field primarily a second-string team in the Hangzhou Games without first team regulars like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and others because the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup begins in India on October 5.
However, the team headed for Hangzhou will have a number of talented young players, the majority of whom were standout players in the Indian Premier League (IPL). At the Hangzhou Asian Games, Ruturaj Gaikwad, 26, who plays for the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, will serve as the team’s captain.
Arshdeep Singh, a left-arm bowler who led the Punjab Kings in IPL 2023 wickets, has been added to the squad. Yashasvi Jaiswal of Rajasthan Royal, who got a century on her Test debut against the West Indies, was also included. Rinku Singh received his first call-up to the Indian national team after his tenacious hits for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2023 this season. India has announced its initial men’s and women’s teams for the Asian Games cricket competition. Cricket has previously been played at two Asian Games: Guangzhou (2010) and Incheon (2014). Sri Lanka is the reigning champion, while Bangladesh won the first edition. Afghanistan finished second in both contests. The men’s cricket squad will participate in a multisport tournament for the second time. At the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, the Indian men’s cricket team competed in a 50-over tournament. The matches, however, were not accorded international status and were recorded as List A games.

Asian Games 2023 Cricket Ticket Prices:
Indian supporters can breathe a sigh of relief as the tickets for the Asian Games, which will be held in China, have been made public. The ODI World Cup 2023 tickets have not yet been updated on the ICC website. The Men’s and Women’s team will compete in the Continental Games with permission from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The Asian Games will start on September 23 and last until October 8.
As the primary squad would be occupied competing in the ICC ODI World Cup in India, the BCCI will send a reserve team to the Asian Games. The squad information for the Asian Games before July 30 will soon be sent by the Board. The team will probably be coached by Shikhar Dhawan. Let’s examine ticket rates and pricing now that the prices have been made public.
