James: Work on singles if we want to win Thomas Cup

Huge challenge: Lee Zii Jia is unpredictable and is still searching for consistency, says Datuk James Selvaraj.

PETALING JAYA: Singles will be key for Malaysia if they harbour hopes of winning the Thomas Cup Finals from April 27-May 5 in Chengdu.

Former great Datuk James Selvaraj believes that Asia Team Championships winners China, defending champions India and Denmark have more balanced teams than Malaysia and will be among the favourites for the title.
