Saina had a difficult 2022
Saina had a difficult 2022; she struggled with numerous injuries and a lack of form. Which caused her to fall to the world number 31.
After returning from three weeks of European competitions, the 32-year-old skipped the 2022 Commonwealth Games selection trials to manage her workload.
Based on their higher world rankings, the selection committee has chosen to offer men’s doubles team Satwiksairaj Ranikreddy and Chirag Shetty. As well as singles players Lakshya Sen, HS Prannoy, and PV Sindhu, direct access into the squad.
Due to the lack of players, the trials have been changed to a one-day event. The committee, which had a virtual meeting on December 25, opted to choose the remaining 14 team members.
Additionally, it is known that MR Arjun will not be able to compete in the trials due to an injury. As a result, the men’s doubles place will be decided by a match between Ishaan Bhatnagar and Sai Patheek K and Krishna Prasad Garga-Vishnuvardhan Goud P.
