�Cricket set for Asian Games return in 2022�

By The Assam Tribune

BANGKOK, March 3: Cricket is set for a return at the Asian Games after it was included in the sports programme for the 2022 edition in Hangzhou, media reports said here on Sunday .

The decision was taken at the Olympic Council of Asia�s General Assembly, sports website insidethegames.biz reported. Cricket was dropped from the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia after featuring in 2010 and 2014, albeit without the presence of game�s powerhouse India. India opted out of the quadrennial event owing to the team�s congested scheduling.

In all probability, the T20 format will be played at the Asian Games, like it happened during the 2010 and 2014 edition in Guangzhou and Incheon respectively. Since the mega event is still some years away, the BCCI has plenty of time to deliberate on the Indian team�s participation. � PTI
