Pawan Sehrawat and 34 others called up for kabaddi camp, Pardeep Narwal excluded

Many big players have been left out of the list.

Pro Kabaddi League stars Pawan Sehrawat and Arjun Deshwal have been picked in the 36-member squad for the national camp. The squad is a reflection of how players performed in the Pro Kabaddi League and the 70th Senior Nationals that concluded last month in the state of Maharashtra. With Kabaddi set for a big 12 months, this camp will be key for every player who is part of the squad.

The Kabaddi World Cup is set to return after a nine-year hiatus and this camp will be the curtain raiser for how the squad is going to be for the title defense which might take place at the start of the next year. For players on an individual front, the Auctions for PKL 11 are just weeks away and the players would want to be fit to impress the coaches.

The squad is comprised of 16 Raiders, four each of Left Cover, Left Corner, Right Cover, Right Corner, and All-Rounders. The players have been handpicked by an expert three-member committee of Randhir Singh Sehrawat, Manpreet Singh, and Ashok Shinde. The committee watched the Nationals and picked the players who could deliver in pressure situations.

As many as nine players who were involved in the finals of the Senior Nationals have been picked with the likes of Ashu Malik, Krishan Dhull, and Abinesh Nadarajan leading the charts. Rahul Chaudhari has been picked after an impressive show in the nationals while the likes of Parvesh Bhainswal, Vikas Kandola, and Sunil Kumar have not been preferred having made less impact in the competition. Naveen Kumar who missed the major part of PKL 10 has not fully recovered from the injury.
