All these lifters are on top in their weight categories and are likely selected for participation in the 11th SAG. However, SAG organizing committee has still not given confirmation regarding how many Nepali players will be allowed to participate in weightlifting.
“Earlier they had asked to send only four lifters and we had opposed it,” said coach Parthasarathi Sen Gupta. He added, “They had sent us six weight categories, but they want only four of our players to take part in the event. We will make public the names of selected players once this debate ends."
