Sprinter Dutee Chand on Thursday was included in the India squad for the World Athletics Championships to be held in Doha later this month.
The development came after the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) accepted an invite for her participation from its parent body, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).
The AFI selection committee has also approved the names of Archana Suseentran (women’s 200m) and high jumper Tejaswin Shankar, subject to an invitation from the IAAF.
Dutee had not met the qualification mark of 11.24 seconds, but has managed to get the required number to be among the competitors in the world event.
