Kian Meng-Pei Jing will be ‘frozen’ if BWF delay move to freeze rankings


Malaysia mixed double Tan Kian Meng - Lai Pei Jing react against China's Wang Yilyu - Huang Dongping at semi-final match for the Celcom Axiata Malaysia Open 2019 at Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.

PETALING JAYA: World No. 11 Tan Kian Meng-Lai Pei Jing (pic) are set to be the biggest losers among the Malaysian shuttlers if the Badminton World Federation (BWF) continue to delay their proposed move to freeze the world rankings due to the current suspension of the international circuit.

Kian Meng-Pei Jing face the prospect of slipping down the rankings drastically as they will not be able to defend points at the Malaysian Open and Singapore Open, which were supposed to take place this week and next week.
