KUALA LUMPUR: Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) president Datuk Seri Norza Zakaria is not pleased with the uninspiring show of Woon Khe Wei-Vivian Hoo and Goh V Shem-Tan Wee Kiong at the Sudirman Cup.

As a result, national No. 1 women’s doubles pair Khe Wei-Vivian have been dropped from the national squad for the World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, from Aug 21-27.
