New Delhi, April 01: Pakistan may want Sania Mirza to play for them after marrying cricketer Shoaib Malik but the tennis ace remains committed to representing India, the All India Tennis association said here today.
“Sania Mirza and her parents have informed AITA that she will continue to play for India after her marriage with Shoaib Malik. She has confirmed to be part of the Indian team in the 2010 Commonwealth Games at Delhi, Asian Games in Guangzhou, China, the 2011 Fed Cup and the 2012 Olympics at London,” AITA Secretary General Anil Khanna said in a statement.
The statement came after Pakistan Tennis Federation chief Dilawar Abbas said he hoped to see Sania play for Pakistan after marrying Shoaib later this month.
Sania, however, had already made it clear that she intends to continue playing for India even after tying the knot on April 15 in Hyderabad.
