BCCI considers sending B team to Asian Games over Japan facility concerns

The BCCI is considering sending a second-string team to the Asian Games cricket tournament in Japan after expressing dissatisfaction with facilities at the venue. The event is scheduled to begin on September 19 in Aichi-Nagoya.

The BCCI and Asian Cricket Council have raised concerns about the arrangements available for players less than a month before the tournament. India will open their campaign on September 29 while the women's team starts against Japan on September 18.

Selectors are likely to consider a depleted squad given the board's unhappiness with the facilities. The decision reflects broader questions about hosting standards for multi-nation events in non-traditional cricket venues.
