“I request [the TTFI] to let me continue with the training plan I follow. I would like to prepare well and make a lot of effort [for the upcoming events],” she told PTI.
Sathiyan said: “I am currently training in Poland with some high quality sparring partners and will be playing in the Polish Superliga. And then will rest and recover for few days in Chennai and head to Doha for WTT on September 17 followed by Asians at the same place. So, unfortunately will not be able to attend the camp this time.”
