Two Tans get All-England ticket thanks to Taiwanese pairs’ withdrawal


PETALING JAYA: Veteran doubles shuttler Tan Wee Kiong is set to make his 12th All-England appearance with a fifth partner.

The 32-year-old has struck it lucky when he and Tan Kian Meng made the cut for the world’s oldest badminton tournament from March 16-20 at the Arena Birmingham, thanks to the withdrawals of Taiwan’s reigning Olympic champions Lee Yang-Wang Chi-lin and Lu Ching-yao-Yang Po-han.
