PETALING JAYA: There's no place for World Championships bronze medallists Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi in the 12-member squad for the Badminton Asia Team Championships while rising star Jacky Kok has received a shot in the arm with a first major call-up.

Naming both the men's and women's teams who would carry the nation's challenge at the Setia City Convention Centre from Feb 15-20, BAM picked world No. 45 Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun over independent duo Yew Sin-Ee Yi as the third choice pairing.
