Davis Cup 2019: AITA asks ITF to conduct another security check in Islamabad, says it will follow directives of world body

Firstpost  

India’s participation in the Asia-Oceania Zone Group 1 Davis Cup tie, scheduled on 14 and 15 September, is uncertain owing to high political tension with Pakistan. New Delhi: India’s national tennis federation on Monday decided against seeking a change of venue for the Davis Cup tie versus Pakistan in Islamabad but requested the world body ITF to conduct another security check there in view of the fresh diplomatic tension. ITF may find it appropriate to do another check to its own satisfaction to ensure the safety of all the stakeholders connected with the tie,” All India Tennis Association Secretary Hironmoy Chatterjee wrote in a mail addressed to ITF Executive Director Justine Albert. No Indian Davis Cup team has travelled to Pakistan since 1964 and bilateral cricket ties between the two countries have been dormant since the 2008 terror attack in Mumbai.
