BWF World Tour Super: Amid concerns over badminton funding cuts involving stars like PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen, the Sport Authority of India (SAI) quashed the reports that funding cuts came due to India's medalless performance at the Asian Games in Japan, attributing it to the Badminton Association of India's (BAI) failure to meet the 30-day deadline to submit its proposal.

"BAI did not submit their proposal within the pre-set time. Federations will also have to start acting responsibly," SAI sources told IANS on Tuesday.
