The BCCI has announced the men’s and women’s squads for the Asian Games 2022. The event is scheduled from 23rd September to 8th October 2023 in Hangzhou, China, as part of the 19th Asian Games. Cricket is among the 37 sports featured at the 2022 Asian Games.
Both men’s and women’s cricket tournaments will be held during this edition of the Asian Games.
