India will be able to field its ‘A' team at both Davis Cup and the Asian Games with the ITF rescheduling the team tournament and ATF pushing back the tennis events at the regional multi-sport showpiece by eight days to avoid a clash in dates.

The Indian Davis Cup team was recently drawn to meet Norway in an away contest, which was to be held either on September 16-17 or 17-18.

The tennis events at the Asian Games were scheduled to be held from September 10-14, which meant that India could play only one event with its ‘A' team since reaching Hangzhou in China from Davis Cup venue Norway was not practically possible.
