Are we participating in that event. Heard last time that there was scuffle with the services team and none from them would represent the country. So no idea of the present status....

All eight will first compete in Stage 1 of the event (South Asian region qualification). However, it has been learnt that Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and Maldives have decided to forego the event, leaving the Indians to compete against each other. The competition will be tougher in Stage 2, where India vie for two more spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
