A group of handball players have appealed to the authorities concerned to consider their case and give them an opportunity to compete in the ongoing National Games here.
Handball, an Olympic sport and the fastest game in the world, was scheduled to take place at the Games before being dropped at the last minute due to an internal squabble between two factions of the national federation.
The players, who are part of the Sports Authority of India’s National Centre of Excellence here, claimed that exclusion of the sport affected the future of 416 players across the country.
