The much-awaited 19th edition of the Asian Games is set to be held in Hangzhou in China. The continental event was slated to be hosted in 2022. But it got postponed to this year due to COVID-19. The Asian Games will feature 40 sports this year, with 655 sportspersons from India competing across different categories. Among them, the athletics team will be the largest contingent for India, comprising 68 players. The competition will get underway on September 19, though the official opening ceremony is scheduled for September 23. The 15-day-long showpiece will conclude on October 8.
This Asian Games will mark the debut of India’s men’s and women’s cricket teams in the continental event. The women’s side will kick off their campaign on September 21, while the Men in Blue will play their first game on September 27. Young opener Ruturaj Gaikwad has been appointed as the captain of the Men’s team, while Harmanpreet Kaur will continue to lead the women’s brigade.
