Pakistani wrestler Inam Butt has been deemed unfit for the upcoming Asian Games taking place in Jakarta and Palembang from August 18 to September 2.
With Pakistan squad for the upcoming Asian Games still being finalised, the country had its hopes pinned onto the shoulders of Inam, who had bagged a gold for the country in the Commonwealth Games in Australia earlier this year.
However, the wrestler will not be taking part in the games later this month due to a knee injury that he sustained during training.
According to the wrestler, the doctors have ordered him a month’s rest to recover from the injury.
“Since there is less than a month left for the Asian Games, I have decided to withdraw my name,” Inam said.
