These are the signs of poor management. I don’t know if BAI has any metrics to measure the outcomes from every IND player on a regular basis. For me, it appears like any player/pair that attains top 32 ranking will get a seasonal pass to participate in super 500+ tournaments until they drop out in rankings. Examples being Sikki/Ponappa and Attri/Reddy. They have playing all these top tier tournaments for more than a year with no results to boast of. SK is slowly and steadily getting into this elite category.
These days it is becoming worrisome to see Indian players becoming overly dependent on coaches and their coaching methods to produce results. This is in total contrast to what I see as DNA of Indian badminton- players achieve with out any proper coaching and financial supports. To list a few- Prakash Padukone, Vimal Kumar, Gopichand, Aravind Bhat, Subhankar Dey.......
All this being said, it is impressive to see how LS is shaping up. The win last Sunday, without a coach, after losing g1 needs special mention.
