All-rounder Harshit Rana has been ruled out of the cricket competition at the 2026 Asian Games, officials confirmed.
Harshit Rana, a promising Indian all‑rounder, will not be part of the cricket squad for the 2026 Asian Games, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced in a recent statement. The decision was taken after a routine fitness assessment that deemed him unavailable for the multi‑sport event.
Rana's exclusion creates a vacancy in the Indian lineup, prompting selectors to consider alternatives to fill the all‑rounder role. The BCCI said it will finalize the revised squad in the coming days, ensuring the team remains competitive for the Asian Games schedule.
The Asian Games cricket tournament, slated for 2026, will feature teams from across the continent. India aims to maintain its strong track record despite the setback of losing a key player ahead of the competition.
