PV Sindhu Withdraws from Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships 2025 Due to Injury

Two-time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu has withdrawn from the Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships (BAMTC) 2025 in China due to a hamstring injury. The star Indian shuttler confirmed the decision on social media, revealing that the injury occurred during a training session in Guwahati on February 4. 

Sindhu’s absence is a major setback for Team India, which is currently preparing at the National Centre of Excellence in Guwahati for the tournament scheduled to take place in Qingdao from February 11-16.

In a heartfelt message on X (formerly Twitter), Sindhu expressed her disappointment at missing the tournament:

“It is with a heavy heart that I share I won’t be travelling with the team for BAMTC 2025. While training on the 4th in Guwahati, I felt a twinge in my hamstring. Despite my efforts to push through with heavy taping for our country, an MRI has revealed that my recovery will take slightly longer than I initially expected. Wishing the team all the very best. I will be cheering from the sidelines.”

Sindhu was a key member of the Indian squad that secured a bronze medal in the previous edition of the tournament. Her absence leaves a significant void, particularly in the women’s singles category.

India’s Challenge in Group D

India has been drawn into Group D, a tough group that includes runners-up South Korea and Macau. The team will kick off its campaign against Macau on February 12, followed by a crucial match against South Korea on February 13.

Despite Sindhu’s withdrawal, the Indian squad still boasts strong names, including Lakshya Sen, HS Prannoy, and the top-ranked men’s doubles duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty.

While Sindhu focuses on her recovery, her teammates will aim to step up and deliver a strong performance in the tournament.
