With the conclusion of the weeklong National training camp at Bengaluru’s Padukone-Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence on Monday, all eyes are on the panel of table tennis selectors to announce the Indian squad for the Commonwealth Games at Birmingham in July-August this year.
The four selectors — S. Ramaswamy, Rajat Kathuria, N.R. Indu and Archana Vishwanath — arrived at the venue on the penultimate day of the camp, on Sunday, indicating it was not necessary for them to watch the players closely in action before making up their minds ahead of Tuesday’s likely announcement.
To finalise a four-man team, eight players — Sharath Kamal (National rank 1), G. Sathiyan (8), Sanil Shetty (2), Harmeet Desai (3), Manush Shah (4), Manav Thakkar (5) Anirban Ghosh (6) and Fidel R. Snehit (11) — were called for the camp.
