JAKARTA - Indonesian badminton players will return to the BWF World Tour next week at the 2026 Thailand Open. A total of 18 representatives will be sent to participate in the tournament.

The tournament with a Super 500 status will take place on May 12-17, 2026 at the Nimibutr Stadium. The Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) also decided to bring down the majority of young players.

The Thailand Open will see the return of the Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin pair. The pair was reunited by PBSI after Daniel returned from a long injury when he appeared in the Sudirman Cup last year.

Leo/Daniel last appeared together at the 2024 Indonesia Open. After that, Daniel was decided to pair up with Muhammad Shohibul Fikri, while Leo paired up with Bagas Maulana.

Overall, there are four Indonesian men's doubles who will play in the Thailand Open 2026. This number includes Bagas who will play with Muhammad Putra Erwiansyah, who is his new partner.

The main men's doubles coach of the PBSI National Team, Antonius Budi Ariantho, in a statement at the beginning of April 2025 said that the decision was made because the two had complementary playing styles.

"Putra has an advantage in front and can be a playmaker. It is hoped that this will support Bagas who is strong in the back area," said Antonius.

The sector with the most representatives in Thailand is mixed doubles. This number sends six pairs, namely Adnan Maulana/Indah Cahaya Sari Jamil, Jafar Hidayatullah/Felisha Alberta Nathaniel Pasaribu, Amri Syahnawi/Nita Violana Marwah, Bobby Setiabudi/Melati Daeva Oktavianti, Dejan Ferdinansyah/Bernadine Anindya Wardana, and Verrell Yustin Mulia/Aisyah Salsabila Putri Pranata.

From the men's singles, the four names sent were Muhamad Yusuf, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, Prahdiska Bagas Shujiwo, and Mohammad Zaki Ubaidillah. The first name will start from the qualifiers.

The remaining four representatives consist of two women's singles and two women's doubles. The women's singles are filled by Thalita Ramadhani Wiryawan and Ni Kadek Dhinda Amartya Pratiwi - who all started from the qualifiers - as well as the women's doubles inhabited by Isyana Syahira Meida/Rinjani Kwinnara Nastine and Lanny Tria Mayasari/Apriyani Rahayu.
