Asian Games: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has granted the go-ahead for the men’s and women’s teams to compete in the forthcoming Asian Games, which will be held in Hangzhou in September-October. Meanwhile, because the ODI World Cup starts in early October, the BCCI is hesitant to send its best team, thus Shikhar Dhawan is expected to return and command a second-string group in the forthcoming major event. A full-strength women’s squad, on the other hand, is likely to travel for the competition.
Notably, cricket was last played at the Asian Games in Incheon in 2014. India declined to join at the time, but things have changed in the last nine years. Meanwhile, the decision to send Shikhar Dhawan to the Asian Games will be made at the BCCI’s forthcoming Apex Council Meeting on July 7. Aside from that, the board members will talk on the “policy for retired players to participate in overseas leagues.”
The present regulation prohibits Indian players from participating in international competitions, however, there have been situations where players resigned early to join clubs in other T20 leagues. The current example of Ambati Rayudu leaving the IPL to join the Texas Super Kings of Major League Cricket is something that the board wishes to prevent since they believe that more players would declare early retirement and do the same in the future.
The board members will also talk about broadcasting and jersey sponsorship. The squad is present without a TV broadcaster for the domestic season, and BYJU’s premature departure has also harmed them since the Rohit Sharma-led team competed in the World Test Championship final without a primary sponsor.
The Apex Council Meeting will also ratify the playing conditions for the forthcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The Impact Player Rule may be applied in the future season, however, a comprehensive debate will take place before this is confirmed.
