Gian Singh, a member of the ad-hoc committee, said that the initially decided proposal of one-bout affair for the six protesting wrestlers was off the table.
Earlier, the committee had decided that the wrestlers would compete in a single bout to qualify for the Asian Games and World Championships wrestling teams.
This resulted in strong opposition from other wrestlers, their coaches and parents, which has now resulted in the ad-hoc committee shooting down its own proposal.
"There will no longer be a one-off bout for the six protesting wrestlers. They (protesting wrestlers) will also have to undergo 3-4 bouts in trials. At best there will be 4-5 good wrestlers in a particular weight category.

"So they (protesting wrestlers) could be asked to compete against them, and whosoever emerges winner will be selected for the Asian Games."
It was also decided that there would be no separate trials for the Asian Games and the World Championships. Singh admitted to the decision of one-bout affair having a negative impact on the committee.
"The one-bout affair had a negative impact. So we decided to close that chapter. Once the dates for the trials are announced, we will speak to the six protesting wrestlers," said Gian.
"There will be just one trial for both World Championships and Asian Games because there is not enough time left to hold two trials," he said.
