In a bid to prepare Asian Games and Commonwealth Games bound wrestlers for the upcoming international competitions, the Sports Authority of India is organising a training camp at its Lucknow and Sonipat centre. This three-month-long training session which was initiated on April 1 is expected to conclude by June 30. Notably, while the SAI Lucknow centre is hosting the Women's wrestling team, the Sonipat facility is organising the same camp for their male counterparts.
