Indian badminton player Saina Nehwal, who has won the Commonwealth Games twice, has withdrawn from the national badminton selection trials for the Asian Games due to fitness issues. The Badminton Association of India (BAI) is scheduled to take place from May 4 to 7 at the Jwala Gutta Academy of Excellence in Telangana. The trials will help the BAI pick the final Indian badminton team for the upcoming Asian Games, scheduled from September 23 to October 8 in Hangzhou, China. Saina Nehwal has not been in great form of late. In what has been a stop-start season for her this year, the former world No. 1 has failed to progress beyond the second round in any of the four BWF World Tour 2023 tournaments she has competed in.
