AITA agreed to increase players' share in Davis Cup prize money, change the support staff and consult them for choice of venue and surface. The parent body also agreed to give the players business class airfare, a six-member squad for even away ties, and agreed to consult them for the appointment of team physiotherapist. The players have also demanded their representation in AITA Executive and Selection committees but the federation has rejected it. The AITA had also formed a three-member committee to decide on a players agreement with regard to national duty in Davis Cup, Fed Cup, Asian Games and Olympics. The committee will have its first meeting on February 22 and is expected to submit its final report within four months.
