PETALING JAYA: Can rising men’s doubles shuttlers Wan Arif Wan Junaidi-Yap Roy King leapfrog their higher-ranked compatriots to book a spot in the Thomas Cup Finals next month? “We have Wei Chong-Kai Wun and Sze Fei-Izzuddin and if we go based on their rankings, they should go. Their performance at the Asian Championships could play a part in the Thomas Cup selection. Rexy said the inconsistent result could pave the way for Arif-Roy King to make their debut at the Thomas Cup. If they can make it far in Ningbo, that could increase their chances of being in the Thomas Cup squad.
