The 67th Senior National Kabaddi Championships concluded last week in Jaipur with the Indian Railways men's and women's teams emerging as the winners and lifting the trophy for the second consecutive year. With the tournament over, it is time for some international action to start in the sport of Kabaddi. Keeping that in mind, the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI) has put out a list of the players who would be considered to be a part of the Indian men's and women's Kabaddi team for international fixtures.
