Cricket was included for the first time at the 2010 South Asian Games, hosted by Dhaka, Bangladesh. A men's 20-over tournament was played from 31 January to 7 February 2010.
The tournament was contested by five of the eight members of the South Asian Sports Council, with squads restricted to players aged 21 or under. Two venues were used – the Shahid Kamruzzaman Stadium in Rajshahi and the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.[1] Bangladesh, captained by Mithun Ali, defeated Sri Lanka in the final to claim the gold medal,[2] while Pakistan defeated Nepal in a play-off for the bronze medal.[3] The leading run-scorer at the tournament was Sri Lanka's Ashan Priyanjan,[4] while Bangladesh's Subashis Roy and Pakistan's Kamran Hussain were the joint leading wicket-takers.[5]
Eligibility
[edit]The teams for the South Asian Games had to consist of players who were under the age of 21 as of January 28, 2010.[6]
Squads
[edit]Five countries sent teams to the tournament – Bangladesh, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Of those, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka were full members of the International Cricket Council (ICC), while Nepal was an associate member and the Maldives were an affiliate. In March 2009, it was reported that Afghanistan, Bhutan, and India would also send teams,[7] but this did not eventuate.[8]
