Indian boxing federation told PTI that Vinod Tanwar’s name has been removed from the squad as he was seen as positive for Kovid-19. Tanwar was in his house and was not in touch with the rest of the team in a safe environment with a biological bubble. The team management has decided not to take any substitutes and India will not challenge in the 49kg category of the 2021 ASBC Asian Championships. Vinod had this golden opportunity to prove his potential on the big stage, which is now lost. During the second wave of Corona in India, many players were exposed to the virus. Due to the epidemic, IPL 2021 has been postponed indefinitely.
