PETALING JAYA: The pressure is on India to retain their mixed team gold in the Commonwealth Games (July 29-Aug 8) and this will give the young Malaysian squad to challenge the favourites in Birmingham.

National doubles coaching director Rexy Mainaky said Malaysia can match India in all departments and sees women’s singles P. V. Sindhu as the only player who may have an advantage.
