Those who revolted had been given time till yesterday to confirm their availability for the tie but they stood steadfast and the AITA went with the option of choosing a squad that has one senior player in Leander Paes. The team now comprises V M Ranjit, Vijayant Malik and Purav Raja besides Paes himself. The rebels wanted the non-playing captain S P Misra, and Zeeshan Ali the coach replaced.
