Indian table tennis star Manika Batra has threatened legal action against the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) after being excluded from India's squad for the 2026 Asian Games. Batra questioned the transparency and consistency of the selection process, claiming she was not given a clear explanation for her omission. She has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, and the Indian Olympic Association, seeking intervention and a review of the selection criteria. The former Commonwealth Games champion stated that fairness and transparency are essential, while TTFI reportedly cited ranking-based selection norms for her exclusion. (PC: AFP)
