Men’s doubles pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty have withdrawn from the BWF Sudirman Cup Finals 2025 due to illness, the Badminton Association of India announced on Monday.
The association hasn’t named any replacements, cutting down the earlier announced 14-member squad to now 12 for the mixed team tournament set to be played in Xiamen, China from April 27-May 4.
Hariharan Amsakarunan and Ruban Kumar R will be the sole Indian pair for the men’s doubles event.
India qualified for the prestigious mixed team championships based on its world ranking and will be eyeing to first seal its knockout berth from a tough Group D line-up that also includes former champion Indonesia, two-time runner-up Denmark, and England.
