Indian tennis legend Mahesh Bhupathi was named the new non-playing captain of the Davis Cup tennis team.
He will take charge after the Asia/Oceania zone Group One home tie against New Zealand which will take place in Pune from February 3 to 5.
The tie against New Zealand will be Anand Amritraj’s last tie as non-playing captain.
Multiple Grand Slam winner Bhupathi was the hot favourite the moment AITA decided to replace Amritraj.
AITA Secretary General Hiranmoy Chatterjee told media persons in New Delhi that everybody should get a chance to captain the team.
He also said the AITA also wanted Anand to be given a farewell tie.
