While announcing about the news, SAI didn't give any official reason or reveal why was the camp getting postponed. Meanwhile, many wrestlers have time and again raised questions on whether the camp can go forward after several wrestlers refused to confirm their participation.

Asian Games gold medalist Vinesh Phogat had pulled out of the camp, citing coronavirus scare. Speaking to IANS, Vinesh had said she had requested the federation to let her train alone and be exempted from the camp.

"What is the point of joining the camp if there is no competition? I got to know that many girls have refused to join the camp, so what will I do there and train with whom?" Olympic bronze medallist Sakshi Malik had told IANS. "There are ten days left for national camp to start, so I will wait and see who all are coming and who aren't."
