Team India’s squad for the Asian Games 2023 became the talk of the town, ever-since it was announced. With Asian Games coinciding with the ODI World Cup, the BCCI has named a second-string Indian team for the continental event in Hangzhou. The men’s cricket event will be held from September 28-October 8. The team, which will be lead by Chennai Super Kings opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, also features the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Arshdeep Singh and others. Out of all the players, former India opener Aakash Chopra was surprised with the inclusion of Arshdeep into the squad.
Punjab Kings star pacer Arshdeep, who has played 26 T20Is and 3 ODIs for Team India, is known for his brilliant death bowling. Chopra stated it’s shocking that the team is not considering Arshdeep for the ODI World Cup.
