Rexy: Zii Jia’s decision to train on his own is understandable

PETALING JAYA: Independent men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia’s (pic) decision not to join centralised training with the national team for the Thomas Cup Finals from April 27-May 5 in Chengdu is not ideal for the team’s preparations but national coaching director Rexy Mainaky is staying positive.

Team LZJ released a statement yesterday confirming that the world No. 11 will train individually for the team meet under coach Wong Tat Meng before joining the team and travelling to Chengdu on April 24.
