Revival Sports Club's High Performance team returned to BWF-sanctioned badminton with a three-nation African tour, its first appearance since the Maldives was placed under suspension, after a temporary exemption granted by the Badminton World Federation. Six athletes will compete across singles, doubles and mixed doubles categories in Zambia, Botswana and South Africa.
One outlet so far Only Adhadhu (English) has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
We have lost our ranking places due to the period of suspension. Our ranking is back to zero.
To keep improving and progressing, we need to take part in back-to-back competitions. These tournaments in Africa will help us rebuild.
It's not sufficient enough to fully prepare.
But given the circumstances, we must take the risk and compete. This is a must-take opportunity to achieve our targets.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
The pair later claimed a women's doubles bronze, extending their combined tally to 12 international doubles medals.
