World Championships medallist Deepak Punia and Antim Panghal have been named in the 30-strong squad for the Asian Wrestling Championships 2025, set to be held in Amman, Jordan, from March 25-30.
After the ban on Wrestling Federation Of India (WFI) was revoked by the Sports Ministry, their selection committee, including president Sanjay Singh, vice president Jai Prakash, treasurer SP Deshwal and Olympic medallist Yogeshwar Dutt, oversaw the selection process.
Ten wrestlers each from men’s freestyle, Greco-Roman and women’s categories were selected during the trials.
The WFI extended invitation for top wrestlers from all over India, “ensuring a highly competitive and transparent selection process”.
“However, a few notable wrestlers, including (Paris Olympics medallist) Aman Sehrawat, were unable to participate due to injuries,” the WFI said.
