"We cannot give a reason for that' - Shreyas Iyer on rain ahead of Asian Games quarter-final

India's preparations for their upcoming quarter-final fixture against Afghanistan in the Asian Games have faced significant disruptions due to continuous downpours at the venue. Scheduled for a 10:30 am IST start on September 28, the match follows a series of washouts, including an abandoned group-stage encounter between Afghanistan and Nepal.

Skipper Shreyas Iyer noted that the squad remains mentally prepared to handle unpredictable weather hurdles professionally, squeezing in limited warm-ups and batting practice despite the soggy ground conditions. Iyer also emphasized the importance of adapting to diverse Asian opponents and challenging pitches, highlighting that focusing on match performance takes precedence over uncontrollable environmental factors.
