India names 33-member squad for Rowing

India has named a strong team for the rowing contingent for the upcoming Asian Games. The team will feature 33 members, including four substitutes.

India has been preparing hard for the upcoming Asian Games 2023, which will be held in Hangzhou, China. Each Indian contingent has had its national camp. India has even sent several athletes to train abroad to give their best in the upcoming Games.

The Rowing Federation of India has made sure that the best lot has been selected. Initially, the Rowing Federation of India conducted the 40th Senior National Rowing Championships and 24th Open Sprint National Rowing Championship in February this year.

Over 500 rowers across 25 states participated in the championship. The best rowers from the Nationals made it to the Trials for the Asian Games in June. The Federation organized a trial from June 27 to July 2, which was held at the Army Rowing Node, Pune and Hyderabad. Following the results of the trials, the Federation has selected 33 members to represent India in the Asian Games.

The team comprises 20 men and 13 women rowers. Both men's and women's teams will have two substitutes each.
