New Delhi, Dec 26: The All India Tennis Association (AITA) on Tuesday sought the Sports Ministry’s advise on the national team’s travel to Pakistan for the Davis Cup World Group 1 Play-off tie against the neighbours at Islamabad in February next year.
The AITA’s move came after the International Tennis Federation Tribunal rejected its request to shift the tie to a neutral venue.
“We have asked for Sports Ministry’s advise as to what is the policy on travelling to Pakistan. It’s a World Cup of tennis. We are awaiting reply,” AITA Secretary General Anil Dhupar told PTI.
The tie is scheduled to be played at the Pakistan Sports Complex on February 3 and 4. Dhupar had earlier told PTI that the AITA will approach the Sports Ministry on Monday and seek guidance if they can send a team.
India and Pakistan were last drawn against each other in 2019 and the tie was scheduled to take place across the border as the Indians had hosted the previous encounter in Mumbai in 2006. But the AITA managed to shift the tie to a neutral venue, Kazakhstan, citing political tensions between the two countries. (PTI)
