India association says Kazakhstan to host Pakistan Davis Cup tie

MUMBAI - The International Tennis Federation has rejected Pakistan’s appeal against the decision to move its Davis Cup tie with India to a neutral venue and the fixture will be played in Kazakhstan, the Indian tennis association told Reuters on Tuesday.

Pakistan expelled India’s ambassador and suspended bilateral trade and all public transport links with its neighbor in August after New Delhi removed “special status” from its portion of the contested region of Kashmir. The nuclear-armed neighbors have fought two wars over Kashmir since gaining independence from Britain in 1947.

“The attitude towards Pakistan of both All Indian Tennis Association and ITF is highly deplorable, to say the least,” Qureshi wrote in a letter to Pakistan Tennis Federation chief Salim Saifullah Khan.India and Pakistan signed a pact last month allowing Indian pilgrims to cross the border to a Sikh shrine in Pakistan, rare cooperation between the nuclear-armed rivals at a time of tension and clashes elsewhere on their frontier.

“However, if ITF does not correct their wrong decision then as a protest against this unjust, unfair and biased decision I want to raise my voice and hereby announce not to participate in this tie if it takes place outside Pakistan.”
