Zii Jia: No plan to have full-time sparring partners for now


PETALING JAYA: Hiring full-time sparring partners is not in world No. 10 Lee Zii Jia’s plans but he may have training stints with top foreign players in the build-up to the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Zii Jia said that he will continue having recently retired Liew Daren as his sparring partner and as the assistant to his newly hired coach Wong Tat Meng. He will also benefit from the joint training sessions with the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) on every Wednesdays.
