The 35-year-old Esther aggravated a knee injury during training on Thursday. The multiple-time world champion will be the third prominent senior to miss the world meet from Nov 6-15 in Dubai. I had to take a five-month break due to my left knee injury just before the Covid-19 situation in 2020,” said Esther. “It all depends on myself really,” added Esther, who has been with the national team for about 18 years since 2004. In her absence, the two seniors left in the team are Siti Safiyah Amirah Abdul Rahman and Natasha Roslan.
