Former Davis Cupper Hameed-ul-Haq has hailed Pakistan Tennis Federation’s decision of sending junior team to Kazakhstan to play the Davis Cup tie against arch-rivals India.

The International Tennis Federation on the request of India recently decided to shift the tie from Islamabad to the Central Asian country, thus depriving Pakistan of hosting the tie.

In protest against ITF’s decision, the PTF decided to send a junior team for the championship.

Pakistan’s top players Aisam-ul-Haq and Aqeel Khan in protest announced not to play in the cup.
