The wrestlers, who had said during their three-day protest at Jantar Mantar that they will not compete in any national or international tournament till the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) is disbanded and its chief is sacked, had communicated their decision about non-participation on the day of the team announcement.

Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Ravi Dahiya (57kg), world championship medallist Deepak Punia (86kg), talented youngster Anshu Malik (57kg), Bajrang's wife Sangeeta Phogat (62kg), Sarita Mor (59kg) and Jitendra Kinha (79kg), have all communicated along with Vinesh (53kg) and Bajrang (65kg) that they will not be able to compete.

Great. Let us send the next rung out and see how they do. Super opportunity to build the bench. Is Yogeshwar the president's chum? That is the key. A probe should be independent. The probe is ordered by the government which is run by the party of the wrestling fed president. So, there may be a degree of partisanship there. Let us see what they put out and if it is truly non-partisan. It is very difficult to judge though. For example, if they say that there are no irregularities in the finances and nobody was harassed, we do not know what the truth is. So, the probe report needs to be clear and comprehensive. Let's see what we get.
