The IOA-appointed ad-hoc panel for wrestling will likely announce the dates and criteria for the World Championships trials between August 1 and 3 after getting clarity on the number of nominations being filed for the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) elections.

"The last date for filing nominations is July 31, so by August 1, we should get clarity on how many candidates are contesting for respective posts. If there is just a single candidate for each post, it is my thinking that the reins of the WFI will be handed over to the new office-bearers by August 1," said Gian Singh, a member of the ad-hoc committee on Thursday.
