This statement came in the wake of India’s disappointing performance at the Davis Cup 2024 where they lost 4-0 to Sweden.
“I don’t agree when a player says that, because the team atmosphere is not good or they are not happy with the association, that he will not play” Nandan Bal quoted.
He issued this statement when the main reason behind the player not participating came to be them being unhappy with the functioning of AITA.
Nandan Bal added that personal problems with the association should not come in between the way of playing for India at the global stage and bringing glory to the nation.
“When I play, I play for the country, I am not playing for AITA. Maybe I am from a different generation or think differently, but even after all those arguments, I will still play for my country,” Nandan Bal added.
With that said we would definitely be looking forward to how the players respond to this. Sumit Nagal, Yuki Bhambri and Mukund Sasikumar are one of our top players who could have made a difference at the tournament.
