The All India Tennis Association (AITA) on Tuesday sought the Sports Ministry’s advise on the national team’s travel to Pakistan for the Davis Cup World Group 1 Play-off tie against the neighbours at Islamabad in February next year. The AITA’s move came after the International Tennis Federation Tribunal rejected its request to shift the tie to a neutral venue.

“We have asked for Sports Ministry’s advise as to what is the policy on travelling to Pakistan. It’s a World Cup of tennis. We are awaiting reply,” AITA Secretary General Anil Dhupar told PTI.
