KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysian badminton star Lee Zii Jia has appealed a two-year ban imposed on him for quitting the national team, officials said Monday (Jan 24), after the move triggered widespread anger.

The Badminton Association of Malaysia confirmed Lee sent them a letter appealing last weeks' ban, handed down after the world number seven decided to quit the body and go independent.

It said it tried to persuade him to stay with the body, but could not agree to his demands which included having his own team of coaches and support staff. "Just listen to how crazy this is. This is year 2022. Is this what we want for our sport?" said world number one Viktor Axelsen on a Friday Facebook post.
