Karachi, Nov 28: Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) has appealed to the International Tennis Federation following its decision to shift the Davis Cup Asia/Oceania group two tie against Lebanon away from Lahore due to security reasons.
Pakistan were due to play Lebanon in Lahore in February, but the ITF announced the tie had been moved to Lebanon due to security conditions in Pakistan.
"We are very disappointed at the ITF decision. We have filed an appeal with them to reconsider as there is still time for the event," the Dawn quoted PTF Secretary Mumtaz Yousuf, as saying.
Yousuf said that Lebanon was ready to play in Pakistan, but the ITF had expressed its reservations over security concerns.
"The Lebanon tennis federation had accepted our invitation to play in Pakistan provided we guaranteed foolproof security for their players and we were doing that," he said. (ANI)
