Malaysian second pair disappointed with BAM decision
Malaysia second seeds Gan Teik Chai & Tan Bin Shen have been droped out of representing Malaysia in the upcoming World Championship event, though their current world ranking of 16 qualify them on merit.
Much to their dismay, the Badminton Association of Malaysia ( BAM) has replaced them with the lower ranked pair Zakry - Tien How for the championship scheduled for 8-14 August in London. The reason given by BAM is Teik Chai & Bin Shen had not been in good form in recent tournaments, and they believe Zakry & Tien How are better pair.
" We made the decision without any bias or prejudice, and the world ranking does not reflect a player actual ability ", said Chin Chai, BAM secretary.
The decision has been made upon recommendation by Men Double coach Rexy, who felt Zakry & Tien How has greater potential to perform in the upcoming world championship. BAM insists that it has the absolute right to decide Malaysia representative in the event.
Teik Chai and Bin Shen however disagree with BAM's stand. " If it is not based on world ranking, none of the pairs will be in contention for selection". They further added that they should have been informed a year earlier. " We have worked extremely hard for the past one year to boost up our ranking in order to qualify for this tournament, yet we have been disqualified. How are we going to explain to our sponsors ? " Said the second seeds in agony.
The matter is likely to send another shock to BAM, after Misbun resignation issues earlier on. If not handled carefully, it might leave negative image on BAM once again.
