The Board will soon send the details about the squad for the Asian Games before July 30. Shikhar Dhawan will most probably lead the squad.

Asian Games 2023: Ticket prices for cricket fans divided into categories for Asian Games 2023
The prices for cricket have been divided into two categories preliminary and final. All the matches will be played at Zhejiang University of Technology Pingfeng Cricket Field in Hangzhou. The cost for preliminary rounds are Y 50, while the cost for the final will be Y 100. Fans can start booking tickets once the Hangzhou authorities start the online booking process on their website.
This will be the 19th Asian Games that will be held in Hangzhou. Cricket was part of two editions of the Asiad in 2010 and 2014, but India did not send women’s and men’s teams. After being left out in the 2018 edition in Jakarta, India are set to compete in the Asian Games after a 12-year hiatus.
“We have entries in all sports except one – cricket (team) isn’t going,” India’s chef de mission for the Asian Games, Bhupender Bajwa had told The Indian Express earlier. “They said they are preoccupied. We sent around 3-4 emails to them, but when we had to send entries to the organizers, they said they won’t go.”
The BCCI will be sending a full-fledged women’s team for the Asian Games. Currently, Harmanpreet Kaur & Co are in Bangladesh playing white-ball series.
