The Sports Authority of India on Friday refuted reports of table tennis coach Yin Wei returning to China, saying he is still at the Sports Authority of India’s (SAI) ‘National TT Academy’ in Kolkata.
Yin Wei, who has been posted at the Sports Authority of India’s (SAI’s) National TT Academy in Kolkata, had requested for 30 days’ leave from 10th August. The leave was approved by Director General, SAI, on 29th July.
However, due to the cancellation of the flight, Yin Wei couldn’t travel. In a letter to the SAI today, he mentioned it wasn’t possible for him to visit his hometown owing to the flight cancellation and also requested that he be granted his leave of 30 days for visiting his country whenever the flight operations resume.
As of this date, Yin Wei is currently still at the Sports Authority of India’s (SAI) ‘National TT Academy’ in Kolkata where he and his wife spent the lockdown period.
