AFI calls long-jumper Jeswin Aldrin for trial on July 4 after being left out of World Championships team

Aldrin was not named in the 22-member Indian team as his performance in the last three events conducted by the AFI had dipped. But on Friday, the AFI said Aldrin will be given a chance.

"Your performance should be close to 8.10m, only then will you be considered for selection for the World Championships (in Oregon, USA, from July 15),” says a letter from the chief national coach Radhakrishnan Nair to Aldrin. "You are, therefore, requested to report at NIS Patiala (for selection trial) on July 4, 2022."
