The International Table Tennis Federation's (ITTF) decision on Monday to freeze all players' rankings for March has stumped India veteran Sharath Kamal, who recently clinched the Oman Open title. The ITTF, having suspended all events till June 30, decided to freeze the rankings given the disruption due to global Coronavirus pandemic.

Wait and watch
Locked down at his home in Chennai, Sharath is now keen to know what effect this call will have on his world ranking which should have risen after his triumph in Muscat. "We need to have more clarity on the freezing of the points. After winning the Oman Open, I thought I could get into the top 30, but now I have to wait and see how things are going to pan out," Sharath, ranked 38, told mid-day over the phone.
