The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) is doing its best to ensure our preparation for this year's Thomas and Uber Cup is as thorough as possible, with a centralised training camp held in Herning, Denmark ahead of the tournament — an approach that's slightly different from usual. With a stable doubles lineup, the Thomas Cup squad is banking on an out-of-form Lee Zii Jia to step up as the team's talisman, while the Uber Cup team has to soldier on without Pearly Tan, who was ruled out of the tournament with a back injury. Despite these challenges, will we finally end our drought at this prestigious tournament? Joining us to break down our Thomas and Uber Cup preparations is Ajitpal Singh, Sports Editor at the New Straits Times.
