Rescheduled India-Pakistan Davis Cup Tie Gets New Dates, But Subject To Security Review

All India Tennis Association (AITA) on Friday announced the new dates for the Davis Cup tie between India and Pakistan which will be held in Islamabad tentatively on November 29-30 or on November 30-December 1 this year. “The security situation will be reviewed on November 4 whether the tie can be held in Islamabad or to be shifted to a neutral venue,” AITA said in a statement.

On August 22 the International Tennis Federation (ITF) postponed the Davis Cup tie between India and Pakistan scheduled to be held in September after an in-depth security review of the current situation in Pakistan was done by independent expert security advisors.

“Following an in-depth security review of the current situation in Pakistan by independent expert security advisors, the Davis Cup Committee has taken the decision to postpone the Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Group I tie between Pakistan and India in Islamabad, due to be played on September 14-15,” ITF had said in the statement.
