Pakistani international kabaddi player Ubaidullah Rajput is facing potential disciplinary action after he appeared for a team labelled as India in a private tournament held in Bahrain on December 16, wearing an Indian jersey and waving the Indian flag. The Pakistan Kabaddi Federation (PKF) has called an emergency meeting on December 27 to investigate the incident, saying no permission or NOC was obtained and that his participation under another nation’s banner is “unacceptable”. Rajput apologised, claiming he didn’t know the side was named “Indian team”. The controversy has sparked debate on cross-border sports representation. (PC: Facebook)
