KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 22 — The Badminton Association of Malaysia will hold an internal ranking junior competition from Aug 23-27 to keep the youngsters on their toes following the lack of international tournaments due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said 59 national juniors would compete in three age-group categories - Under-18, Under-16 and Under-14 - for slots in the playoffs to be held from Aug 30-31 and, possibly, places within the senior squad. “In fact, the tournament will be used to rank the players for selection and participation in international competitions around October and November in Europe,” he said in a statement today.
Meanwhile, national junior Muhd Fazriq Mohd Razif is also thrilled to be back in action since his last international outings in Slovenia and Austria.
