PUNE: India’s selectors on Sunday laid emphasis on ‘big servers’ and ‘volleyers’ while picking the team for the upcoming World Group 1 playoff tie in the Davis Cup against cross-border rivals Pakistan, to be played on grass in Islamabad.
With Sumit Nagal and Mukund Sasikumar making themselves unavailable for the tie to be played on February 3-4, the five-men team picked by the committee headed by former Davis Cupper Nandan Bal wears a largely doubles look with Ramkumar Ramanathan the only established singles player in the mix.
