Table Tennis Youngster Remains Club-less :: Mmegi Online

India-based table tennis player, Phetso Jack remains without a club three months after moving to the Asian state. The teen sensation left for India in March under a four-year partnership between the Botswana Table Tennis Association (BTTA) and the India High Commission in Botswana.

The 19-year-old was set to become the first local player in the Indian elite league whilst studying at the Delhi Technological University.

However, the youngster remains club-less after being heavily impacted by the last month’s COVID-19 cases. “Stag International has assisted with a coach, but he has not started training as yet because of the surge in cases of COVID-19 in India. The country has been in lockdown for the past few weeks. I have spoken with him earlier this week and he said they are not allowed to move anywhere,” BTTA development coordinator, Thato Nkwakweng said.
