PETALING JAYA: Mixed doubles shuttler Chan Peng Soon is in a race against time to revive his partnership with Lai Pei Jing following the Badminton Association of Malaysia’s (BAM) decision to include the latter in the Commonwealth Games squad from July 23-Aug 3.

The 21-year-old Pei Jing was selected after Peng Soon’s regular partner Goh Liu Ying finally decided to undergo surgery on both her knees last month. Liu Ying will be out of action for the rest of the year.
