Aaron highlights value of fielding scratch pairs at SEA Games


PETALING JAYA: World No. 2 men’s doubles shuttler Aaron Chia has proposed that Malaysia field scratch pairs for the SEA Games in Thailand this December.

He believes the biennial event is the perfect platform to test new tactical combinations, as it does not offer any ranking points under the Badminton World Federation (BWF). The move, he said, could serve as an ideal early preparation for the Thomas Cup in Horsens, Denmark, next May.
