Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand, India’s top women’s doubles pair, will not be participating at the upcoming Uber Cup Finals, the Badminton Association of India (BAI) announced on Friday.
The duo, No. 30 in the latest BWF Rankings, has been out of action since Treesa sustained an injury during the first round at last month’s Swiss Open.
BAI has named Shruti Mishra and Priya Konjengbam, the pair currently ranked 48th, as their replacements for the women’s competition set to be held in Horsens, Denmark, from April 24 to May 3. Kavipriya Selvam and Simran Singhi form the other doubles pair.
