“Because Poovamma injury does not compete in the final selection test held for today [Sunday] here in Patiala to choose two female athletes for the Mixed 4x400m Indian Relay Team,” the source told IANS.

Even though it has good medical facilities at the National Institute of Sports, Poovamma has chosen.
To return to his home country, Karnataka, for care.
