PUNE: The decision to not recommend three of the 12 tennis players in the Indian team for the Asian Games was taken after "the matter was discussed with experts", the Sports Authority of India said on Monday.
The sports ministry had omitted Mukund Sasikumar in the men's, Vaidehi Chaudhari and Sahaja Yamalapalli in the women's from the list of names submitted by the All India Tennis Association citing non-fulfillment of its selection criteria.
