The Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi has granted visas to the Indian players and support staff for the upcoming Davis Cup World Group 1 playoff tie scheduled for February 3-4 in Islamabad. The decision marks the first time an Indian tennis team will travel to Pakistan for a Davis Cup tie since 1964. Initially seeking a neutral venue, the All India Tennis Association's appeal was rejected, prompting them to pursue permission from the sports ministry. World No. 463 Ramkumar Ramanathan will lead the Indian contingent, which comprises doubles specialists for the crucial tie on grass courts.
