India players will wear their standard kit for the one off T20I against Japan on September 22 before donning the official Asian Games jersey for the competition beginning on September 28. Members of the Indian men’s cricket team are awaiting right size kits ahead of their departure for the Asian Games in the wee hours of Sunday. PTI has learnt that there has been plenty of back and forth between BCCI and Indian Olympic Association’s kit supplier JSW Inspire regarding the jersey of the players.
The Shreyas Iyer led-side is scheduled to depart from the national capital early morning on Sunday.

With players needing two different jerseys there (one for bilateral and another for Asian Games), this can happen,” an IOA source told PTI. There are not many big hotels there but the BCCI has managed to make its own arrangement shortly before their departure to Japan,” said a source. “There was a sizing issue in kits of cricketers, majority of them have been rectified. There are a few left and they will be delivered to the team shortly. The Indian women’s team however has been staying in the accommodation proved by the IOA. “The women’s team accommodation was never an issue. The rooms provided by the organisers for the men’s team did not even have space to keep the kit bags.
