Why is india not sending cricket teams to asian games?? We could more or less win 2 golds(men, women) there, even if we send India B team(leave alone india A team). Those bozos in BCCI and IOA should be fired.

BCCI cares for $$$. Not medals.

It's a little bit sad, that a private org has exclusive control over the national cricket team. They couldve atleast sent a B team, it wouldve been good enough to win. the defending Champions are Bangladesh


Anyway 1 more bronze Asian Games LIVE: India win bronze medal in women's badminton team event | Zee News


Saina Nehwal won her match, P.V Sindhu couldve won but then the went on to a third game and she lost. The other two matches were just too easy for the Koreans.

Was surprised to see palestine participating in asian games. It seems they have sent around 50 people for the games. @SajeevJino

Correct me if I am wrong, but is not BCCI a private entity, not directly controlled by the GoI?

Yup its a private body.

 

[Mad Indian]

Yup its a private body.

So why are you blaming BCCI/IOC for not sending the cricket team?

Why not? They could have sent one if they wanted to..

Why not? They could have sent one if they wanted to..

A private entity has no "obligation" to do anything. If you want, you can ask the govt to sponsor a national team but you cant force a private entity to do it for you.

Of course. Hence they were not forced. But I feel they should have sent one.

 

[Mad Indian]

Of course. Hence they were not forced. But I feel they should have sent one.

And I feel that govt should have sponsored one and made BCCI obsolete
