Little known Weijie aims to make the most of call-up


Closing the gap: Chia Weijie aims to move up the rankings fast with his partner Low Hang Yee.

PETALING JAYA: The last time Chia Weijie was part of the Thomas Cup squad, he was used as a sparring partner.

But the little-known national doubles shuttler might find himself in the starting line-up in the Thomas Cup this time after he was surprisingly named in the list for the team meet that is taking place in Bangkok from May 8-15.
