New Delhi, August 26
The Badminton Association of India (BAI) has decided not to hold trial matches to select the team for the Thomas and Uber Cup. Instead, the team will be decided on the basis of rankings as the BAI is unable to hold trial matches amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. A decision to this effect has already been taken as the federation doesn't want to risk the health of the players.
The men's Thomas Cup and the women's Uber Cup tournaments are pencilled to be held in Aarush, Denmark, from October 3. The Danish federation has already sent all the requisite information and documents to the BAI to process the visas.
"Most probably the team of 10 men and 10 women will be decided on the basis of rankings. It is the only available option in the current scenario," said a source in the know of the development.
The BAI has also decided to hold the national camp for the Thomas and Uber Cup from September 8. However, a formal decision on holding the camp will only come at a later date after discussions with the Sports Authority of India. — TNS
