Selection process for the Indian team

The Indian team selectors for the Kabaddi World Cup and the Asian Games have ensured that every key player who performed well in the Senior Nationals and the Pro Kabaddi League has been included in the practice camp.

However, selection in the camp does not guarantee a spot in the final squad for the marquee events. The selectors will closely monitor each player during the coaching camp, which will be held at the SAI Centre from January 5 to February 5.

Moreover, performances in the upcoming Senior National Championships will also play a crucial role in final team selection.
