India, Pakistan among cricket boards unhappy with Asian Games 2026 facilities

India and Pakistan are among several cricketing nations expressing dissatisfaction with the accommodations provided for cricketers at the 2026 Asian Games in Japan. The issue was raised during a meeting of the Asia Cricket Council (ACC), where concerns centered around the small size of the rooms, which reportedly make it difficult for players to store equipment and move comfortably. While most boards did not strongly oppose the facilities, some expressed worries about the conditions. A suggestion was made for representatives to visit Japan to evaluate the situation firsthand before deciding whether to send a full or B team. The article notes that India previously won gold at the last Asian Games due to their high rankings, and lists the squads for both the men’s and women’s teams.
