NEW DELHI: The Russian Bridge of India announced on Tuesday the national teams for the next asian games in Hangzhou, China.
The sporting extravaganza is scheduled for September 23 through October 8.
The team was chosen after its annual coaches camp and selection trials at the Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence in Greater Noida from March 2-18. The trials were conducted under the auspices of the Sports Authority of India, and the selection of the team was undertaken in four categories (only 3 for the Asian Games).
