The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has implemented a new selection policy that requires wrestlers to attend national camps in order to be considered for the national team. According to the policy, participation in these camps is mandatory, and wrestlers who fail to attend will be ineligible for selection trials. The policy aims to provide a fair and transparent selection process, with trials scheduled for teams representing India in major international competitions such as the Olympic Games and World Championships. The selection committee, headed by the WFI president, will assess the form and fitness of wrestlers and ensure merit-based representation. Double Worlds medallist Vinesh Phogat, who recently announced her comeback from retirement, will have to prove herself at the domestic level to be considered for a spot in the national team. The policy also includes provisions for reserve wrestlers and the possibility of conducting trials for Olympic participation. In a bid to promote discipline and accountability, the WFI reserves the right to take disciplinary action against wrestlers found overweight during international competition. The new policy is set to take effect immediately, with the WFI asserting its commitment to fair and transparent selection processes.
