Shiva made way for national champion and India Open gold-medallist Manish Kaushik in the lightweight 60kg category. Shiva and Manish have faced off twice so far, national championship final and India Open semifinal, with the latter winning on both occasions. In the bantamweight (56kg) category, Bidhuri, out of action since his world championship bronze in August last year owing to a back injury but fit now, has been left out for Mohammed Hussamuddin.
Trials will only be held for male boxers in the 91kg and 52kg categories on March 1 and 4 respectively, while among the women, world silver-medallist Sarjubala Devi's name in the 51kg division will be sent based on her performance in a competition trip to Kazakhstan starting March.
