The wait for Chong Wei’s return continues – but hopefully not much longer


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian badminton fans have to wait a little longer for Lee Chong Wei’s return as the singles shuttler has been left out of the Sudirman Cup squad.

The 36-year-old, who was diagnosed with nose cancer last year, has not been given the green light by his doctor to make a return for the World Mixed Team Championships in Nanning, China, from May 19-26.
