Two-time Olympic medallist Sushil and London Games bronze medallist Yogeshwar will not be a part of the touring squad for the training-cum-competition programme, starting January 17th, due to their respective personal issues. The contingent comprises Amit Kumar Dhankhar, Amit Kumar Dahiya, Sandeep Tomar, Bajrang, Rahul Aware, Praveen Rana, Pawan Kumar, Satyavrat Kadian, Jaideep and Rohit Patel and national coach Vinod Kumar.
Sushil became the father of twin boys last week and it has been learnt that he wants to spend some more time with his newborns before embarking on a fortnight long journey to US.
Sushil has conveyed his decision to Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) and will take a flight to US this coming weekend or early next week. In case of Yogeshwar, he has to appear for his DSP examinations with Haryana Police from January 17 to 24 as he is still a probationary officer.
Yogeshwar had presented his joining report as DSP in January 2009 at the police headquarters in Panchkula but since then he hasn’t been able to appear for the written test to officially join the posting.
‘I was undergoing DSP training with Haryana Police since 2009. I could not sit for the written examination due to my hectic international schedule. I am still a probationary officer and to formally join the rank as DSP, I need to clear my test papers,’ Yogeshwar said.
