Two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra's wife Himani Mor has reportedly quit tennis and is now focusing on building a career in sports business.

Besides, she also played doubles event and reached a career-high ranking of 27.
Speaking to Dainik Bhaskar, Himani's father Chand Mor revealed that she also turned down a Rs 1.5 crore sports-related job offer in USA and instead will focus on her own business now. Currently, she is with Neeraj in Europe where the star India athlete is undergoing training.
Himani holds a degree in Political Science from Delhi University. She has also done Sports and Fitness management from Franklin Pierce University.
Family Waiting To Host Reception
Earlier this year in January, Neeraj and Himani got married in a private ceremony with the duo announcing the news via social media. The wedding was held at a private resort in Solan (Himachal Pradesh). Soon after the ceremony, the couple left for USA and due to Neeraj's packed schedule, the family is still waiting to host their wedding reception.
Currently, Himani is managing the Tokyo Olympic gold medalist's diet and training sessions.
Himani's Love For Tennis
Born in 1999, Himani began playing tennis when she was in school and studying in fourth class. However, the family wanted her to focus on boxing, wrestling and kabaddi. She learned the trick of the trade from her mother who herself was a Physical Training Instructor (PTI). She made her professional debut in 2018 and went on to achieve her career-best ranking in the same year. Besides that, Himani has represented Delhi University at national level and also participated in the World University Games 2017.

Jasprit Bumrah informs selectors he is available to play in the Asia Cup
India's star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has made himself available to play the forthcoming Asia Cup in Dubai, a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) source said. The Indian Express understands that Bumrah had spoken to the selectors a few days ago and informed them about his readiness to play. The senior selection committee headed by former all-rounder Ajit Agarkar is expected to meet on August 19 in Mumbai to pick a 15-member squad for forthcoming Asia Cup, which is scheduled to be played from September 9 to 28 in UAE in the T20 format. 'Bumrah has informed the selectors that he will be available for Asia Cup selection. The selection committee will meet and discuss it when they meet next week,' the source said. Bumrah was released from the Test squad for the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at the Oval keeping in mind his workload. Bumrah had played in the first Test at Headingley, skipped the second Test at Edgbaston, which India won, and played in the third and fourth Tests at Lord's and Old Trafford. During the Test series, he had two-five wicket hauls and bowled 119.4 overs. With Asia Cup to be played in T20I format, Bumrah won't have to bowl longer spells and the team management can even pick and choose his games. Bumrah will get a gap of nearly 40 days between the last Test he played in England and the start of the Asia Cup. Bumrah's last T20I appearance was in the 2024 T20 World Cup final against South Africa in Bridgetown that India won by seven runs. He took 2 for 18. The Indian team will be travelling early to UAE for the Asia Cup. Most of the players will be going to the Asia Cup without any match practice game. The BCCI had asked team management whether they were in favour of a short camp in Bengaluru. However, the team management felt that it would be better to fly early so that players can get used to the conditions. 'Instead of having a camp here, the team will fly three-four days early so that they can get decent practice before the tournament starts,' the source said.
