In the aftermath of Indian government’s decision to revoke Article 370, Pakistan is not among the 28 nations that are set to participate in the Asian Age Group Championships.

“Pakistan never confirmed participation because its government never gave clearance,” said Virendra Nanavati, executive director, Swimming Federation of India.

“We sent invites to all 45 countries in Asia. If Pakistan was ready to come, I feel we would have got the clearance.”
