Arshad Nadeem, the current Olympic champion hailing from Pakistan, had refused to take part in the meet earlier.

The postponed Neeraj Chopra Classic 2025 will bring in a classy pool of javelin throwers in Bengaluru on July 5. The NC Classic was initially scheduled to be on May 24, then postponed to July 5 due to the India vs Pakistan cross-border tensions.
