Arjun, Veer to lead Indian juniors at Pickleball WC

Arjun Singh and Veer Shah were on Wednesday picked as Indian captains for the U-18 and U-14 categories, respectively, for the Pickleball World Cup later this year.

The squads were announced after official selection trials held in Ahmedabad from June 12 to 14. The World Cup is scheduled to be held in Da Nang, Vietnam, from August 30 to September 6.

“The Indian squad looks extremely strong and we are confident that we will be able to better our result from the last time,” Arjun said.  “Da Nang will be a true proving ground, and we have full confidence that this team will play with immense passion, carry the tricolour with pride, and inspire countless young kids back home to pick up a paddle,” Suryaveer Singh Bhullar, IPA president, said.
