Chabata called upon Ministry of Sports to help unearth hidden talent by holding talent development and identification programmes that involved grassroots, for the development of the sport’s future.
“The ministry needs to hold more talent identification programmes nationwide, like what Dairyboard used to do at growth points. Schools are no longer competing as seriously as they used to do.

Injuries are part of sportsman but if it takes longer time to recover then it may destroy the whole sporting career of the player. I have no idea about his injury details but I hope he will perform again in next competition. Thanks
