this is riduculous not sending indian team to asiads, the board should b ashamed to say this...we have more than 20 reserve players waiting in wings to play for the country who have real potential.players like manish pandey etc r waiting for a chance, they could b sent to the asian games n these players r in no way comparision to the jadejas time whr team will depend only on sachin n azhar..the govt should make a compulsory rule to play for the country....i doubt even if cricket was introduced in olympics india will not participate in that citing silly reasons
This is what they have been telling all along. BCCI doesn't represents INDIA's team, it is an autonomous body and nothing to do with countries pride. For them IPL and international matches are important but not the Asian Games. Shame on these crooks. It is high time for everyone to stop following cricket.

BCCI can work on accommodating IPL by changing the schedule of other events planned. But they can not do that for Asian games, as not much money is involved in it and more over, they can not dictate the terms over here.
BCCI and our useless rich cricketers had time and again proved they play for money and records. Yet this time they have proved beyond doubt that money is all that matters to them and we foolishly praise these useless lots.
If the P.M has any sense of nationalism he should take the resposibilty to send the cricket team for asiad games.If any player refuses to play he should be banned from playing for India in any format of cricket.If not kapildev should pick up the team and go to China for representing the Country. It is national pride representing the Country and winning the Medal. Money comes next
Billion people and we don't have 2 cicket teams to play hahaha. An other scam in the land of scams. Send some village boys they will play better then our indian cricket team of jokers

BCCI decision is ridiculous bt u r criticizing the greatest sportsperson n icon of Nation- tendulkar... go n consult sm gud psychiatrist...
Can h.i.z.r.a. govt take strong action against BCCI? How dare they not send team to Asian games? If this team is private property and the honour of a medal in Asian Games does not matter,than BCCI itself needs to be dissolved.
We need strong response from sports ministry..A medal for the country is more important than generating revenue for BCCI..or else Indian govt should arrange to send an alternative cricket team,India cannot go unrepresented...
