Nagoya, India captain Shreyas Iyer said torrential rain, limited practice and an awkward build-up will not be excuses when his side faces Afghanistan in the Asian Games quarterfinal here on Monday, stressing that a professional team must be ready for whatever conditions come its way.
Nagoya has been battered by relentless rain over the last two days, severely disrupting India's preparations for the knockout stage. Their only recent match practice came against Japan in a rain-shortened game, which India won by just two runs in a five-over-a-side contest at the Sano International Cricket Ground.
