PETALING JAYA: It has been 12 years since Malaysia last featured in the final tie of the Thomas Cup Finals and former doubles specialist Lee Wan Wah does not expect the drought to end when the 2014 edition starts in New Delhi on Sunday.

Wan Wah partnered Choong Tan Fook to form the first doubles pair at the 2002 edition in Guangzhou, helping to take Malaysia into the Thomas Cup final after delivering the winning point (3-1) in the semi-final tie against hosts China.
