Indian table tennis player Diya Chitale, who had moved toward the Delhi High Court over her exclusion from the women’s CWG squad, was included for the side for the July-August occasion to the detriment of Archana Kamath.
Although, Manush Shah, who had likewise recorded a writ request in the Delhi High Court against his non-selection, stays a reserve player without any progressions made in the men’s squad, which will be driven by Sharath Kamal.
The Committee of Administrators (CoA) running the suspended Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) had last week declared a provisional women’s team containing Manika Batra, Kamath, Sreeja Akula and Reeth Rishya in the team with 19-year-old Chitale as the reserve.
Kamath, who should play doubles alongside Manika, has been barred from the squad all together and Swastika Ghosh has been placed on reserve.
“There is only one change. Diya comes in as the fourth player in place of Archana. Archana did not meet the criteria but we thought she is also a good medal prospect (as she is world number 4 alongside Manika). But we were in a dilemma and that is why we went to the SAI and sought its guidance.
