PETALING JAYA: The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) have kept their promise to be more selective with tournament entries for the elite players. Last year’s All-England was a nightmare for Malaysia, as most national players fell early, including all three elite doubles pairs. Aaron suffered a wrist injury a few weeks prior, and he and Wooi Yik were eliminated in the opening round despite being seeded fifth. With the new changes in place, Rexy hopes the elite players can deliver in Birmingham, as thorough preparations were made before their departure. In the women’s doubles, the country has yet to claim a championship, while in mixed doubles, the best result came in 2017 when Chan Peng Soon and Goh Liu Ying finished runners-up.
