Diya Chitale included in the CWG table tennis squad – Diya Chitale has been the talk of the town for the last couple of days. Diya had approached the Delhi High Court over her exclusion from the women’s CWG squad. But the latest update is that Diya has been included in the commonwealth Games table tennis squad in place of Archana Kamath.
The official statement came from CoA who is running the suspended Table Tennis Federation of India. The CoA said,
Diya Chitale, who had approached the Delhi High Court over her exclusion from the women’s CWG squad, has been included in the side for the upcoming Commonwealth Games.
While announcing the inclusion of Diya, CoA also clarified that the rumours among the media members was just the recommendation of selectors and not the final decision of CoA.
In absence of Table Tennis Federation of India, the team selection is done by CoA which is finalised after getting clearance from Sports Authority of India. On Monday, the committee chaired by CoA member S D Mudgil discussed and finalised the team.
