And men’s doubles pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik are already feeling the benefits as they look ahead to the challenge in Birmingham, where they will bid to reclaim the All-England title once again. Wooi Yik personally sees this as a positive development, further boosted by the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) opening their doors to professional players such as Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani to train together at the Academy Badminton Malaysia in Bukit Kiara. We have many young players with great potential and this helps us maintain our level of play. It is not just about our own efforts,” said Wooi Yik. “We are experienced players and we need to maintain that level every time we step out to compete,” added Wooi Yik.
