Pei Jing must rise up in Liu Ying’s absence


Time to step up: Lai Pei Jing will pair up with either her regular partner Tan Kian Meng or Chan Peng Soon for the Sudirman Cup.

PETALING JAYA: Shuttler Lai Pei Jing has a huge responsibility at the Sudirman Cup.

With Olympic silver medallist Goh Liu Ying unavailable due to a shoulder injury, Malaysia are relying on the 24-year-old Pei Jing to rise to the occasion in the mixed doubles at the world mixed team event in Gold Coast, Australia, from May 21-28.
