AAI bars coaches, sets up probe into team’s no-show
New Delhi: The Archery Association of India (AAI) constituted a three-member inquiry committee on Thursday to probe its men’s compound archery team’s no-show for a bronze medal match at the World University Games and barred the team’s coaches from getting any international assignments.
The World University Games were held in Gwangju, SOuth Korea, July 4-8.
The Indian men’s compound archery team failed to turn up for a bronze medal play-off match in the World University Games, prompting the AAI to order a probe.
The committee comprises of AAI secretary general Anil Kamineni, treasurer Virendra Sachdeva and ethics committee chairman K.S. Kang.
“The preliminary inquiry suggested a lack of communication between the coaches concerned, which apparently led to the incident,” AAI assistant secretary Gunjan Boral said in a statement on Thursday.
“The committee would further inquire into the matter and submit its report at the earliest. In the meantime, the coaches concerned would not be given any international assignments.”
The men’s compound team of Gurwinder Singh, Kanwalpreet Singh and Aman was not present at the venue for the match against Italy at 10 a.m. local time in Gwangju on July 8.
India had to forfeit the match as per the World Archery rules, and coach Jiwanjot Singh blamed the no-show on a broken bow.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
