“Yes, we are calling that girl for a trial. We will call her to Delhi and we have our parameters in place, we will conduct a test to check whether she is fit for cycling,” Singh told ANI
“She has some endurance because she has travelled for seven days covering 1200 km. We had a word with that girl yesterday that’s why we have called her,” he added.
