India\'s Olympic chief has accused the country\'s cricket board of ignoring this year\'s Asian Games in China because there is no money on offer.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India this week cited prior international commitments for skipping the men\'s and women\'s 20/20 tournaments at the Asian Games in Guangzhou from November 12 to 27, despite India being a key driver in getting the sport included on the program.
Asia\'s other test-ranked nations, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are likely to send cricket teams to the upcoming Asian Games.
A dozen other teams entered qualifying for the three remaining spots in the tournament.
India will be hosting New Zealand for three tests and five one-day internationals in November.
