The Badminton Association of India (BAI) will fund 28 Indian shuttlers, together with senior nationwide males’s and ladies’s champions Chirag Sen and Anmol Kharb, for international tournaments this 12 months.
Indian gamers ranked between 26 and 75 in BWF world rankings and prime performers from the Senior National championships, who aren’t a part of the nationwide camp, will profit from this chance.
The funds will come as a part of BAI’s partnership with Rural Electrification Corporation (REC).
Abu Dhabi Masters champion Unnati Hooda and 2023 Badminton Asia U-17 Junior championships silver medallist Tanvi Sharma are among the many 28 gamers throughout singles and doubles classes who’ve been chosen primarily based on their performances in a number of tournaments.
“BAI is committed to ensure promising talents get much-needed support to showcase their potential as the national campers even if they are not part of the national camp,” mentioned BAI Secretary Sanjay Mishra in a launch on Monday.
“Our partnership with REC will not only help us broad base these opportunities and give shuttlers more and more opportunities to participate in multiple international challenger events as well as Super 300s and thereby better their rankings as well as gain experience of playing against foreign players.
“This initiative aligns with our targets to create sturdy alternatives for extra gamers to present their talents in addition to compete and profit from the nationwide badminton construction.” The selected players have been given an option to choose three tournaments, including two Super 300 events — the Orleans Masters and Swiss Open — from a total of eight tournaments, for which BAI will extend complete financial support to each of the shuttlers.
