Joint
Press Statement from Mahesh Bhupathi, Rohan Bopanna, Somdev Devvarman,
Yuki Bhambri, Vishnu Vardhan, Sanam Singh, Divij Sharan, Saketh Myneni,
Sriram Balaji, Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan & Vijay Sundar Prashanth
11th January 2013: We
have just learned the composition of the team nominated by the AITA to
represent India at the Davis Cup tie against South Korea in the first
week of February. We are disappointed to note that instead of engaging
in discussion with us, the AITA has selected an inexperienced team to
represent the country in this crucial Davis Cup fixture.
In making each of our suggestions to the AITA, we were guided by
our strong convictions regarding what we believed was fair and
beneficial to the future of the sport in the country and are dismayed to
hear that the AITA has labelled our suggestions "unfair and
unjustified". The AITA's position reiterates and reaffirms our stand,
and we are constrained to state that, unfortunately, we will be
unavailable to represent the country until such time that the AITA
engages with us in good faith.
We wish the Indian Davis Cup team that has been selected for the fixture all the very best.
