Asian Games Hotel Drama Ends, BCCI Reveals Accommodation Plan
BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla said the team accepted the arranged lodging after organizers cited a shortage of top-rated hotels in Nagoya.
- On Tuesday, BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla confirmed Indian cricketers will stay in Nagoya for the Asian Games, accepting official accommodation despite it not meeting five-star standards.
- The accommodation dispute arose due to a scarcity of top-rated hotels in Nagoya, making stays in Tokyo or Osaka impractical because of distance.
- BCCI officials reviewed photographs and videos of the facilities, with Shukla stating, "Definitely those are not of five-star but a good accommodation," to assure player comfort.
- Indian Olympic Association president PT Usha confirmed the matter is resolved, noting organisers are providing hotels, ships, and villas rather than a traditional athletes' village.
- The team will travel to Tokyo on September 20, play a T20 match against Japan on September 22, then begin their Asian Games campaign on September 28.
