Asian Games 2026: 'The pitch is going to be uncertain' - Sunil Gavaskar warns India

Sunil Gavaskar has warned India's men's cricket team about tricky pitch and outfield conditions as they prepare to defend their gold medal at the upcoming Asian Games 2026. The squad is set to begin their campaign on September 28 at Kōrogi Sports Park during the tournament that runs from September 17 to October 3, 2026.

Gavaskar pointed out that the team's narrow escape against Japan serves as a useful warning regarding unpredictable pitches and soft outfields that complicate diving stops. He also noted that the women's team's recent gold medal success and Asia Cup victories place extra pressure on the men, while addressing the heavy scrutiny awaiting the incoming national selection committee chairman after Ajit Agarkar's tenure.
