India At Asian Games 2026: Badminton, Cricket, Tennis Squads Announced For Aichi-Nagoya - Check Full Players List

India are gearing up for the Asian Games 2026 in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, with preparations for the continental showpiece already underway. The 20th edition of the Asian Games will be held from September 19 to October 4, 2026, with athletes competing across 43 sports, including select Olympic-qualifying disciplines like squash.

The Aichi-Nagoya Games will be another opportunity for India to continue their impressive rise on the Asian sporting stage. India enjoyed their best-ever Asian Games campaign at Hangzhou 2023, where the contingent created history by winning a record 107 medals - 28 gold, 38 silver and 41 bronze.

India crossed the 100-medal mark for the first time at the Asian Games, becoming only the fourth nation after China, Japan and South Korea to achieve the milestone. The record-breaking campaign has set the benchmark as India now look to build a strong contingent for the 2026 edition.

Several National Sports Federations (NSFs) have started announcing their squads for the Aichi-Nagoya Games, with some of India’s biggest names across sports earning their places in the team.

India’s cricket squad will be led by Shreyas Iyer, who has been named the new T20I captain ahead of the upcoming tour of England and Ireland. The squad features a mix of established players and young talent, with Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Sanju Samson and Washington Sundar among the names included.

India’s shooting contingent will be headlined by double Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker, along with Rudrankksh Patil and Esha Singh. The 30-member squad features 15 men and 15 women, with Manu Bhaker, Rudrankksh Patil, Esha Singh and Vidarsa Vinod named in multiple events.

In badminton, two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu and men’s doubles stars Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty will lead India’s challenge. The squad also includes Lakshya Sen, HS Prannoy and Kidambi Srikanth, while India’s tennis team will be led by Sumit Nagal and Sahaja Yamalapalli.

Here are the Indian squads announced so far for the Asian Games 2026.
