Guest: Kirubashini Rasalingam, Sports Journalist, The Star
BWF recently announced some sweeping changes to their tournaments, set to take effect in 2027. Among the changes is the addition of another Super 1000 tournament, with the Denmark Open joining the Malaysia Open, All England Open, China Open, and Indonesia Open. Team events - the Thomas Cup, Uber Cup, and Sudirman Cup - will also see an expansion, growing from 16 to 24 participating teams. A group-stage phase will also be introduced before the knockout rounds. How will these changes, and others, affect the badminton world? Kirubashini Rasalingam, a sports journalist from The Star, joins us to unpack the announcements and share her thoughts.
