India likely to miss Davis Cup play-off tie vs Pakistan as govt denies approval

India is on the verge of forfeiting its Davis Cup play-off tie against Pakistan as the All India Tennis Federation (AITA) has not yet received the approval to travel to Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, for the scheduled fixture. India's away tie against Pakistan has been scheduled for February 3-4.

Recently, AITA's request for shifting the fixture to a neutral venue has been rejected by the International Tennis Federation tribunal.
