PETALING JAYA: Men’s singles shuttler Cheam June Wei’s bid to end his seven-year wait for a title in the Azerbaijan International was cruelly cut short by injury. It was an unfortunate end for the independent player, who was hoping to win his first title since capturing the 2019 Malaysian International. I tried to fix it during the warm up but it still didn’t get better,” lamented June Wei. The 29-year-old has been struggling for form for over a year and has seen his world rankings plummet to No. “I plan to continue to play but I’m looking for sponsors currently,” said June Wei.
