New Delhi, Aug 21 (PTI) Ending the stalemate over a payment dispute, India’s revolting tennis players today said they will represent the country in the upcoming Davis Cup tie and Commonwealth Games after being given an assurance by the Sports Ministry.
The star quartet of Leander Paes, Mahesh Bhupathi, Somdev Devvarman and Rohan Bopanna had written a joint letter to AITA threatening to pull out of Games if their dues for the CWG preparations will not be paid.
The four players today issued a joint statement, confirming their participation but also hit out at All India Tennis Association for leaking their ‘private’ mail and not submitting bills to the government for clearance in time.
They asserted that they have submitted all their bills to AITA and the onus is now on the national Federation to get expedite the reimbursement process.
