Wrestler Inam Butt has been declared unfit for the upcoming Asian Games being taking place in Jakarta and Palembang from August 18 to September 2. However, the Pakistani wrestling squad for the upcoming Asian Games is yet to be finalised. The wrestler Inam Butt will not be taking part in the games later this month due to a knee injury that he sustained during training.
According to the wrestler, the doctors have ordered him a month's rest to recover from the injury. "Since there is less than a month left for the Asian Games, I have decided to withdraw my name," Inam said.
Disappointed but determined, Inam said that his next target is the World Championships which is two months away. He further said that unless wrestlers are given training of international standard, there should not be expectations from them to win medals.
Inam pointed out that there are 18 wrestlers who are getting training in the camp. Instead of spending money on 18 wrestlers, the money should be spent on three or four wrestlers that have the potential of winning medals for the country, he said.
