Badminton News: National badminton camp in Hyderabad likely to be cancelled

There are possibilities that the proposed national badminton camp—scheduled from September 7 to 27—will not go ahead due to the uncertainty and continuing stalemate between the players and authorities. There was no action for the third successive day of the camp in Hyderabad that Sports Authority of India (SAI) had planned for the Thomas and Uber Cup, scheduled in Denmark from October 3 to 11 which will restart international competition for the first time since March. SAI wants players attending the yet-to-begin camp to quarantine for at least a week at the SAI-Gopichand National Badminton Academy before hitting the courts. However, the shuttlers and Badminton Association of India (BAI) are against the idea.
