Ahead of the Asian Games 2026 cricket tournament in Japan, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), and other Asian cricket boards have raised concerns about the newly converted Korogi Sports Park pitch and player accommodations. Issues include the pitch's untested quality, lack of proper dressing rooms, and cramped hotel rooms located over 20 km from the venue. The Asian Cricket Council plans to send a delegation to inspect facilities. Due to dissatisfaction, India may send a 'B' team if conditions remain unsatisfactory.
