New Delhi: Pune is set to host India's next Davis Cup tie against New Zealand on the hard courts of Balewadi Sports Complex and the team's support staff could be in for some change as the tenure of both non-playing captain Anand Amritraj and coach Zeeshan Ali is ending later this year.
AITA Vice President Bharat Oza, with permission from Secretary General Hironmoy Chatterjee, made the announcement at a press conference. "The decision to host the tie was made at the AITA Management Committee on October 24," Oza, who is also President of the Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association (MSLTA), said.

Oza said MSLTA was the only Association that showed interest in hosting the tie, scheduled for February 3-5.
"Davis Cup is a loss-making proposition, that's why not many come forward to host it," he said adding that the state government will support them for the tie.
