The real reason for this, of course, is the fact that the 2023 ODI World Cup is clashing with the Asian Games, and India are playing their best team there. India have won the ODI World Cup twice, in 1983 and 2011, and recently emerged victors at the 2023 Asia Cup, where they thrashed Sri Lanka in a lop-sided final.
