Manika, Sathiyan Seek Exemption from National Camp Ahead of Asian Championships

News 18  

India’s leading table tennis players G Sathiyan and Manika Batra have sought an exemption from the national federation TTFI for the national camp beginning in Sonepat on Thursday, making them ineligible for selection for the upcoming Asian Championships as per the new rules. However, TTFI advisor M P Singh said the federation’s policies are not player specific and whosoever doesn’t turn up for the national camp will not be considered for selection as per the new rules. “Only the players that are part of the National Camp before a specific tournament will be considered for selection into the National Team to represent India,” read a note from TTFI secretary Arun Banerjee after the executive body meeting on August 4. The Indian contingent did well in Tokyo but Manika not taking national coach Somyadeep Roy’s help for her singles matches caused a controversy after her personal coach Sanmay Paranjape was denied field of play access.
