The Haryana-wrestler will be replaced by an athlete from the Services. “Mehar Singh from the Services will replace Naveen for the 130kg Greco-Roman category,” WFI assistant secretary Vinod Tomar told Wrestling TV.

Mehar has not yet made any significant achievement at the Seniors level. He is the 2014 Junior Asian Championships gold medallist and silver medallist in 2013 Asian competition.

With the first-choice of 130kg Naveen out of the competition, Mehar has a chance to prove his mettle at the international scene. The Greco-Roman competition will be held over the first two days of the continental tournament. The 130kg category matches are scheduled on Day 1 of the Competition, February 18.
