BWF World Tour Finals 2021, Badminton News & Reports | SportsCafe

Ace India shuttler PV Sindhu has pulled out from the upcoming BWF World Championship 2022, starting August 22 in Tokyo, due to a stress fracture on her left ankle. The Indian had sustained the injury during the CWG quarter-final clash against Goh Jin Wei of Malaysia, but continued to play.

Indian badminton stars, such as PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen, will be eager to build on their impressive performance in the BWF World Championships 2022, which begin in Tokyo on August 22. PV Sindhu, the world no.7, will aim for her second world championship after winning the competition in 2019.

It is day eight at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and Indian badminton stars will be again in action today. It all starts with Jolly Treesa/Pullela Gayatri Gopichand vs Leung/Ganesha in women's doubles, followed by all the singles stars - Lakshya Sen, PV Sindhu, Aakarshi Kashyap and Kidambi Srikanth.

The Indian players should use their "rage" after losing to Malaysia in the mixed team final to "shoot some bullets" in the independent badminton events at the Commonwealth Games, as per Mathias Boe. India was defeated 1-3 by Malaysia, the five-time champs, and were unable to defend their title.
