Sindhu, Lakshya To Lead 14-member Indian Team In Asia Mixed Team Championship
Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championship: Two-time Olympics medallist PV Sindhu and Paris Olympics semifinalist Lakshya Sen will lead a 14-member strong Indian team in the Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships to be played in Qingdao, China from February 11-16. India bagged a bronze medal in the last edition of the championships held in Dubai in 2023 and will be hoping to change the colour in their latest outing.
The national selectors have given importance to the world rankings and current form of the players while selecting the squad that will have H.S. Prannoy and Malvika Bansod as the second men’s and women’s singles players, respectively.
“The Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships is a prestigious event where the depth and quality of teams are tested. We did well by winning the bronze medal two years ago, but the target this year is to reach the finals, and then anything is possible, and we will go all out,” said Badminton Association of India (BAI) secretary general Sanjay Mishra.
