Akash Deep from Bengal has been selected as a replacement for Shivam Mavi in the Indian cricket team for the Asian Games. Mavi, a fast bowler, was dealing with a back injury, which led to his withdrawal from the team. The T20 matches in the Asian Games are scheduled to take place from September 28th to October 8th.
In addition, Pooja Vastrakar has been named as a replacement for Anjali Sarwani in the women’s team. Sarwani, a left-arm fast bowler, had to withdraw from the team due to a knee injury. The matches for the women’s team will be held from September 19th to September 28th.
These replacements were made to ensure that the teams have the best possible chance of success in the Asian Games. Akash Deep’s inclusion in the men’s team will provide additional depth to the fast bowling department, while Pooja Vastrakar’s inclusion in the women’s team will strengthen their bowling attack. It is unfortunate that Mavi and Sarwani had to withdraw due to injuries, but the replacements will help maintain the team’s balance and competitiveness in the tournament. The Asian Games will be an important platform for the Indian cricket teams to showcase their skills and compete against other top teams in the continent.
