PV Sindhu to make a comeback soon? Star included in Badminton Asia Team Championships squad

Badminton Asia Team Championships: PV Sindhu last played in the French Open round of 16 against Supanida Kathetong.

India’s two-time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu will be back in action soon as the 28-year-old has been named in the squad for the Badminton Asia Team Championships 2024 slated to be held in Shah Alam, Malaysia from February 13-19. Sindhu, who had suffered a knee injury, has been out of action for almost four months.

Meanwhile, 16-year-old senior national champion Anmol Kharb, Tanvi Sharma and Ashmita Chaliha will be the backup for Sindhu in the Badminton Asia Team Championships 2024.

“With the Olympic games a few months away, this is one of the most important events for our shuttlers considering the Paris Olympic qualification. We have rewarded the senior national champions as well, with call-up for team India. These are very strong Indian sides, who are capable of going all the way and I am sure they will script history at the prestigious team event”, said Badminton Association of India (BAI) General Secretary Sanjay Mishra.

Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand will be representing the women’s doubles team in the championship. Ashwini Ponnappa and Tanisha Crasto, alongside reigning senior national champions Priya Devi Konjengbam Shruti Mishra, are in the team too.

In the men’s section, HS Prannoy will be the spearhead, with Lakshya Sen, and former World No. 1 Kidambi Srikanth. Also, the new inclusion will be national champion Chirag Sen.
