JAKARTA - PBSI has decided not to send Mychelle Crhystine Bandaso, Putri Syaikah, and Shesar Hiren Rhustavito to the 2022 Badminton World Championships which will take place in Tokyo on 22-28 August.
This was conveyed by the Head of the Development and Achievement Division of PP PBSI, Rionny Mainaky. Rionny has also explained in detail why PBSI took the decision to withdraw the three.
All three are considered unable to meet the target so that they are fully ready before competing. Rionny said the players were still in the process of recovering from injuries.
Mychelle is said to have undergone therapy with improving results. However, during exercise, the movement still looks not normal and is considered to need additional therapy.
Meanwhile, Putri Syaikah has also started to improve from the knee injury that wrapped her in the last two months. However, Rionny saw the same situation as Mychelle.
"But it turns out to be the same. For international matches or World Championships, with only two weeks of preparation, even though we force it, I think it's impossible," said Rionny, in an official statement. As for Shesar Hiren Rhustavito, his injury still hasn't improved. Even though he has undergone a series of therapies but has not shown encouraging signs.
The coaching team was also reluctant to force the badminton player, who also recently got married, to appear at the 2022 World Championship.
