AITA to appoint special committee to address players' concern

The All India Tennis Association (AITA) on Saturday decided to appoint a special committee, likely to be headed by a retired judge, to address the demands made by revolting players.

The proposal to appoint the committee was made by AITA President Anil Khanna. It will be formed on 3rd February when the national federation proposes to have its next Executive Committee meeting.

The committee will be headed either by a retired judge or a senior retired government officer of equal status and an eminent tennis player.

It will go into the matters relating to Davis Cup and arrive at a suitable agreement with the players for Davis Cup matches.

A total of 11 players, including Somdev Devvarman, made themselves unavailable for the upcoming South Korea tie unless the AITA fulfill their demands with regards to playing conditions.
