UPSC CAPF – 2011
Bangladesh won the gold medal in Men’s Cricket at the Asian Games, 2010.
Cricket was included in the Asian Games for the first time in 2010 held in Guangzhou, China, featuring the T20 format.
– Men’s Tournament: Bangladesh defeated Afghanistan in the final to win the gold medal. Pakistan secured the bronze medal.
– Women’s Tournament: Pakistan defeated Bangladesh in the final to win the gold medal. China secured the bronze medal.
The question asks about “gold medal in Cricket”. Since Bangladesh won the gold medal in the Men’s event and Pakistan won the gold medal in the Women’s event, and both are options, it is possible the question implicitly refers to the more prominent Men’s event, or it expects recognition of one of the gold medal winners. Given the options, both Bangladesh and Pakistan won a gold. However, assuming the more prominent men’s event is referred to, Bangladesh is the winner.
India did not send teams for the cricket event in the 2010 Asian Games, citing prior international commitments. In the 2014 Asian Games, Sri Lanka won the Men’s gold and Pakistan won the Women’s gold again.
