(Reuters) - Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal has been allowed to take her place in the draw for the Thailand Open after being initially withdrawn following a positive test for COVID-19, the Badminton World Federation (BWF) said on Tuesday.
The Badminton Association of India (BAI) said earlier that Nehwal and men’s world number 28 HS Prannoy had tested positive and withdrawn from the Open, along with Nehwal’s husband, Parupalli Kashyap, who was quarantined in his hotel room.
