AITA announces India's Davis Cup squad tie against Pakistan

In Tennis, India yesterday picked an eight-member Davis Cup squad for the tie against Pakistan, rewarding players who agreed to travel to Islamabad when top players had refused. Veteran star Leander Paes returned to the Indian team after more than a year along with top players Sumit Nagal, Ramkumar Ramanathan, Sasi Kumar Mukund and Rohan Bopanna, who had reservations on travelling to Pakistan due to  security



concerns.

In the squad announced by the All India Tennis Association (AITA) Selection Committee in New Delhi yesterday, Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan, Saketh Myneni and Siddharth Rawat also found places in the team. While the International Tennis Federation is still deliberating upon Pakistan Tennis Federation's appeal to shift the November 29-30 tie out of Islamabad, AITA went ahead with the team selection.
