Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) has decided to bid for the 2024 edition of the biennial World Team Championships. TTFI secretary M P Singh, who was in Hungary for the World Championships which concluded on Sunday, said the time has come for India to host a high-profile event. The last time India hosted a World Championships was way back in 1987. "We will be bidding for the 2024 edition in which 32 teams will take part," Singh told PTI. The last big ITTF event that was staged in India was in 2012 when Hyderabad hosted the World Junior Championships.
