QatarAt the upcoming 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan, cricketers will receive better accommodations compared to athletes in other sports, according to Japanese cricket officials. Despite cricket being a minor sport in Japan, organizers have committed to providing hotel rooms for cricket teams, while other sports rely on less conventional setups like cruise ship cabins and temporary wooden containers. Concerns were raised by Sri Lankan officials regarding the adequacy of facilities, particularly due to the lack of a dedicated athletes' village. With 17,000 athletes expected, more than double the number at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the logistical challenges are significant. Cricket matches will take place at Korogi Sports Park, a repurposed baseball field, and the pitch is being curated by experts from Sri Lanka to ensure quality.
