TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) released the line-up for Sudirman Cup 2023 on Wednesday, April 12 2023. BAM selected the strength of the players for two events which almost coincided with the 2023 SEA Games agenda.
The 2023 Sudirman Cup mixed team badminton tournament is scheduled to take place in Suzhou, China from May 14-21. The 2023 SEA Games badminton sport will take place at the Morodok Techo Badminton Hall, Phnom Penh, Cambodia on 8-16 May 2023.
Malaysia, which is targeting a number of medals at the 2023 SEA Games, certainly doesn’t want to just give up the Sudirman Cup, which is a prestigious world badminton tournament. BAM ended their worries by releasing 20 player names for the 2023 Sudirman Cup squad consisting of 10 male and female players.
From the list it can be seen that BAM combined Pelatnas Akademi Badminton Malaysia (ABM) players with professional players in the 2023 Sudirman Cup. Malaysia still relies on Lee Zii Jia for men’s singles, Goh Jin Wei for women’s singles, Aaron Chia / Soh Wooi Yik in doubles. men’s, and M. Thinaah/Pearly Tan for the women’s doubles sector.
The release of the list of players at the same time confirmed that most of Malaysia’s best players will focus on the 2023 Sudirman Cup. This decision was probably taken because of Malaysia’s position in Group C along with Taiwan, India and Australia.
Group C of the 2023 Sudirman Cup is considered a hell group because Malaysia, Taiwan and India are considered to have equal abilities. The neighboring country, which made it to the quarter-finals in the 2019 Sudirman Cup, is certainly reluctant to lose face by being eliminated in this year’s edition of the group phase.
