KUALA LUMPUR: Former world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei can forget about playing in the next two Superseries tournaments – the Australian Open from May 26-31 and the Indonesian Open from June 2-7.

The Badminton World Federation (BWF) had to turn down Badminton Association of Malaysia’s (BAM) request to field Chong Wei because the closing dates are over.
