The double Olympic medalist, the PV PV Sindhu, withdrew from the mixed Asia badminton team championships in China due to a problem of the hamstrings, carrying a blow to the country’s chances of improving the color of their medal in prestigious edition. The tournament should be played in Qingdao from 11 to 16 February with the Indian shuttles which are currently undergoing training in a Gowahati camp. Besides Sindhu, the other main players on the camp are Lakshya Sen, and HS Prannoy, as well as the formidable pair of doubles from Satwiksiraj Ranquireddy and Chirag Shetty.
Sindhu was part of the team that won bronze during the previous edition of the tournament.
“It is with a heavy heart that I will share that I will not travel with the team for the BAMTC 2025. Although training on 4 (February) in Guwahati, I felt a pinch in my hamstrings. Despite my efforts to pass with a heavy recording for our country, an MRI revealed that my article would take it slightly longer than I would not be longer”.
Sindhu has been faced with injuries since he won his first gold medal in a single female at the Commonwealth 2022 games in Birmingham.
However, the star shuttle suffered an injury to the stress of the left foot during the matches, which prevented it from all the remaining tournaments in 2022, including the world championships and the finals of the world.
India is placed in a difficult group alongside the finalists of South Korea and Macao. They will start their campaign against Macao on February 12, which will be followed by a difficult outing against South Korea on February 13.
Sindhu wished the team to the team, saying that she “applauded the key line”.
