The Indian badminton team, which won a bronze medal in the World University Games (WUG) in the ongoing World University Games (WUG), has been involved in controversies as six out of the 12 selected players have been stopped from participating due to the alleged administrative lapse.

12 players were selected to represent India in the competition but only six were allowed to compete as the officials failed to present all the names properly during the meeting of the managers on 16 July.

Alisha Khan, a outside player, wrote on Instagram, “This is not just mismanagement- it is going to harm career. We demand answers, accountability and listening to our voice. We did not lose any match – we lost our right to participate. ”

He wrote, “This is not just a mistake. It is going to harm career by AIU and our team officials. We demand justice. ”According to sources, BV Rao and Ajit Mohan were officers of the Indian University Union (AIU) who attended the meeting. AIU, the nodal organization for university level sports in the country, has accepted the incident.

AIU Secretary Dr. Pankaj Mittal refused to make any further comment, “We have been informed about it and the matter is being investigated.” According to a source, the matter was not just an error but the result of ‘systematic irregularities’ which started from the selection of Bhubaneswar’s Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT).

The source said, “During the meeting of managers, the officers were given a letter with a list of all 12 players from India. It was their responsibility to read it carefully, check out non -existent or injured players and confirm or adjust the names accordingly. However, he took it lightly. ”

He said, “The names of the players who did not participate in the trial were also there. They came here only to enjoy it. He also made a basic mistake in the meeting. He had to declare which player would play in solo, doubles and mixed class but he did not inform about it properly. ”

Sunith Dayanand, Satish Kumar Karunakaran, Devika Sihag, Tasnim Mir, Varshini Vishwanath Sri and Vaishnavi Khadkekar were among the six players who participated in the mixed team event. India defeated Macau but lost to Hong Kong in the group stage. Then after defeating the US in the round of 16 and Malaysia in the quarter -finals, Chinese lost to Chinese Taipei in the semi -finals.

Rohan Kumar, Darshan Pujari, Aditi Bhatt, Abhinash Mohanty, Viraj Kawawar and Alisha Khan were part of the 12 -member team but did not get a chance to play. The priest has written a letter to the Badminton Association of India (BAI) demanding a thorough investigation. He wrote in the email, “This level mismanagement has caused a lot of emotional trouble to the affected players, especially when Team India has won the historic medal in the Games.

The players who were excluded from the nomination list have been denied the ground and given a chance to be a part of this achievement. “The priest wrote,” Till date the managers have not given any accountability or concrete explanation. At this stage of international representation where the athletes’ career, dreams and morale are at stake, only apologizing cannot be enough. ”

However, the source alleged that the players who actually topped the trial were excluded from the mixed team event while they were part of the team. The source said, “The team manager made a big mistake. Officials did not show concentration during the meeting and after the trial they did not follow the appropriate process. He deposited only six names, so the remaining six did not permission by the FISU. ”

The woman 400 meter runner Devayani Bajala also alleged that she could not compete, as her name was ‘removed due to delay in submitting the confirmation by the authorities’.

She wrote on social media from Bochaum, Germany, “I had been preparing for this competition for more than a year but (when) the first day’s list came out, my name was missing from the 400 meter women’s race.” He said, “It has a big impact on my life and my game career. I really arrived here with a lot of sacrifice, courage and passion.
