Young tennis player Sumit Nagal, dropped from the Davis Cup squad for alleged indiscipline, has expressed his displeasure over the issue, saying that the complaints against him are false.
“It is unfortunate that allegations questioning my demeanor while representing the country have presented themselves on public platforms in the last 24 hours,” Nagal said in a statement on Wednesday.
“I shared my displeasure with the AITA and have clarified that that these allegations are false.
“Their response to my concerns were to confirm that they have not made these comments and have committed to taking adequate measures in getting to the bottom of this and assist me in clearing my name wherever it matters,” he added.
Meanwhile, former Indian Davis Cupper Somdev Devvarman also hit out at AITA, criticising the way in which Nagal was treated.
