Ban lifted, Mukund to lead India in Davis tie against Togo

PUNE: Mukund Sasikumar, whose controversial suspension has been "revoked", will lead the Indian Davis Cup team in the World Group I Playoff tie against Togo, to be played in New Delhi on Feb 1-2.

Ramkumar Ramanathan, Karan Singh, Sriram Balaji and Rithvik Choudary are the other members of the team that will be captained by Rohit Rajpal with Ashutosh Singh as coach.

It will be a maiden tie for Karan and Rithvik, a doubles specialist who is also set to make his Slam debut at the Australian Open.

Mukund had been kept out for the World Group I tie against Sweden in September when India lost 0-4.

All India Tennis Association honorary secretary Anil Dhupar had said then that he had been suspended for two ties on disciplinary grounds. "The captain requested everyone that Mukund's suspension be revoked and everybody agreed," Dhupar said on Friday.

Sumit Nagal and Yuki Bhambri, the country's top singles and doubles players, were unavailable.
