Indian wrestlers skip Rome Ranking Series

New Delhi: Indian wrestlers have decided not to travel to Rome for the Matteo Pellicone Ranking Series 2022, starting on Wednesday, instead they will be completing their visa formalities for the Commonwealth Games 2022, set to be held in Birmingham.

All selected wrestlers for CWG 2022 were required to be in India for the collection of their biometric information needed to process their UK visas for the upcoming Commonwealth Games.

"The wrestlers have to be in the country for visa processing. We have given passports to the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) as the visas are expected to be processed this week," Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) assistant secretary Vinod Tomar was quoted as saying by the New Indian Express.
