Davis Cup India vs Pakistan: AITA should do what the government suggests, says Vijay Amritraj

The Hindu  

Indian tennis legend Vijay Amritraj said that the All India Tennis Association should follow the government’s instruction on the India's Davis Cup tie against Pakistan. READ : Davis Cup, India vs Pakistan: Bhupathi, players seek security assurance Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a press conference to announce the National Junior Tennis Championship, he recalled the circumstances that led to India boycotting the 1974 Davis Cup final against South Africa over the apartheid issue. In 1987, India faced a similar situation as it had to face Israel in a Davis Cup quarterfinal tie and there was a call to boycott the tie, Amritraj recalled. In the light of Indian non-playing captain Mahesh Bhupathi seeking a clarification from AITA over security issues in the neighbouring nation, Amritraj, now the TNTA president, said security is vital and added “no question, both governments will pay attention, nobody will want anything to happen.”
