In four years’ time, as the pinnacle of continental sports converges in Nagoya, Japan for the 20th Asian Games, one can hope to see cricketers in attendance. However, the current focus is on Hangzhou, China, where the ever-evolving game will see its final showdown during the 2023 Asian Games. India, as always, is actively participating. The Indian women’s team has already left its mark by clinching the gold medal on their first attempt. Now, the men’s team, albeit considered second-string due to the concurrent home Cricket World Cup, is determined to make history at the Asiad — aiming for the country’s hundredth medal. They face a formidable Afghanistan team captained by the spirited Gulbadin Naib, despite both sides missing their star players who would have graced the field in Dharamsala for the World Cup opener against Bangladesh. Anticipation is high, and the live scores and updates of the thrilling IND vs AFG, Asian Games 2023 men’s cricket final can be followed closely. Here are the squads for the match:
