Vishal Uppal's removal as Bille Jean King Cup captain has surprised even the Executive Committee members of the All India Tennis Association (AITA) as the matter was not discussed by the crucial decision-making body. This should have been discussed in the Executive Committee," Kapur told PTI. "Under his captaincy, the Indian team has shown exemplary performance over the last few years. "The news of his sudden replacement, without any discussions within the AITA Executive Committee, has come as a big surprise," Kapur wrote. "In the past, all captains of India's Davis Cup team and Fed Cup team were appointed after proper discussions and deliberations in the AITA EC."
