Indian tennis team to travel to Pakistan for Davis Cup tie despite strained relations between the nations
An Indian team will travel to Pakistan for a Davis Cup tie in September, the All India Tennis Association has said, despite strained relations between the nations.
Relations further soured in February this year after a suicide car bombing killed at least 40 Indian paramilitary police in Indian-controlled Kashmir putting question marks on the Asia/Oceania Group 1 tie, which will be held on Sept. 14-15 in Islamabad. "We needed an invitation from the Pakistan Tennis Federation for the visa process which we have received. We are applying for the visas soon as it's a lengthy process."
Until a few years back Pakistan was forced to host its home Davis Cup ties at neutral venues as teams refused to travel due to security concerns.
