KUALA LUMPUR: He may not bring the kind of influence to the team as Lee Chong Wei, but Lee Zii Jia is ready to play an anchor role for Malaysia at the Sudirman Cup in Nanning, China, from May 19-26.
In the absence of Malaysia’s badminton icon Chong Wei, the 21-year-old Zii Jia is the singles stalwart for Malaysia in both the Group D matches and will be up against the likes of world No. 2 Shi Yuqi of China and world No. 8 K. Srikanth of India.
