It's high time Crasto and Jolly are paired together, any keen badminton fan can realize those are the best 2 in women's doubles currently and need to play together, I hope any other player who doesn't have shoulder and defense, do not keep getting picked for the wrong reasons.

Don't know if Pullella Gopichand would have the guts to abandon her daughter in favor of a strong pair

 

If it does happen they could be world beaters. With both of them having great defence and hard and jump smashes in them they'd eventually kill japanese and Chinese style of defensive doubles and make it more attacking like Men's Doubles.

Does anyone have news on Harmilian Bains, Muhammad Anas, Kamalpreet Kaur's reason for non-participation in domestic season. Also why is emerging 400m runner Priya Mohan ran in 200m in Federation Cup

It's not like they have a lot of competition here so they may prefer training at their centres , or could be injuries. Priya might want to try something new since she's young hoping for more competition

No idea why Tanisha Treesa didn't continue as a pair. They were 16 year olds then.

This is standard for any 400m runner, they want to participate in 200m to get that zip during the finishing of 400m, Anas, Rajiv have done it for a long time, there is no question of Priya's participation in 200m in any international events. Btw the big thing in 400m coming on is Aiswarya Misha she will soon break Hima's national record.

Ok, hope now that doesn't become an excuse of not pairing them obviously at 16 they didn't have shoulder power, hopefully the Dronacharya award in our country actually means something.

She's 24 already though so to break 1.5s may not be easy .

I hear she has clocked below 51s in practice, let's watch her for the next few events we should get the indication. My only worry in such cases is hopefully what happened with athletes like Nirmala is not repeated.
