NEW DELHI: Chief national coach Pullela Gopichand on Friday made it clear that India is still far away from being a dominant force such as China and said an overhaul of domestic structure and administration will be needed to become a badminton superpower. We still have domestic tournaments which were built in 1991. So for 25 years we have same domestic structure, same nationals, same major ranking, same thinking," he said. "When we were state level we were producing the same quality coaches, today even though we are now world class, we are producing same quality. "We haven't done our planning and restructuring, our thinking is not still world class, our thinking doesn't even know what is world class.
