Commonwealth Games: Professional ‘touch’ needed to meet gold target, says BAM’s doubles coach director

KUALA LUMPUR, June 22 — The selection of professional players to fill the mixed doubles slot for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, augurs well to meet the target of two gold medals set by the Olympic Council of Malaysia .

He said the selection of professionals did not mean that BAM was bypassing players under the parent body, but rather it was the best selection on merit based on the present group of shuttlers. “We also have Peng Soon-Yee See but for the Commonwealth Games we cannot list 10 players like in the Thomas Cup and Uber Cup ... hence, I see Yee See can also play in various events,” he said when met at the Akademi Badminton Malaysia in Bukit Kiara here recently.

Asked to give a hint if he would field a “scratch pair”, Rexy, who is also the 1996 Altanta Olympic Games men’s doubles gold medallist, merely replied that “it’s a secret”.
