India vs Sri Lanka live: Asian Games – Women’s cricket final

Well, it was due to a number of reasons, and the official version is that the competition clashed with the Indian cricket team’s “prior commitments” in the calendar.cricket was introduced at the Games in 2010 to promote the sport across the wider continent but India didn’t send its men’s or women’s cricket teams to the 2010 and 2014 editions.The Indian cricket board (BCCI) said its players were too busy with their other commitments.However, the head of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) launched a scathing attack on India over its refusal to enter a cricket team at the Asian Games, saying its decision was “killing” the sport.OCA president, Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah, said India’s stance was short-sighted and damaging to the game.“They are killing cricket, limiting the NOCs (National Olympic Committees) participating in cricket and killing the market,” Sheikh Ahmad said in 2014.“Sorry to say this as a sports fan, but this is the reality. This is why cricket is only a Commonwealth sport.”India has also opposed the inclusion of cricket at other multi-sports events, including the Commonwealth Games and Olympic Games, a stance that has put them at odds with other cricketing nations and players.
