I was watching the All England 2021 and noticed that the squad from Chian and Indonesia were missing from the competition.
An interesting but unfortunate incident mars the All England 2021.
Following a confirmed case of positive Covid-19 in the airplane, shared by the Indonesian squad, badminton England in effect quarantined the Indonesian squad from further competing in the tournament.
Already missing the powerhouse squads from Indonesia, South Korea and China, this year saw weaker competition of players resulting in Japan dominating the games in the semi-finals.
Excerpts from the BBC:
[However, they discovered the UK Government's legislation regarding self-isolation periods was "non-negotiable".
Men's top seeds Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo defeated England's Matthew Clare and Ethan van Leeuwen in the opening round, but the result will remain unchanged.
As with all instances of an Indonesian player or pair winning a match prior to the withdrawal, their next scheduled opponent will now receive a walkover and advance to the next round.
Zainudin Amali, Indonesia's sports minister, has asked the BWF to investigate the matter and suggested the decision to exclude the team is "unfair".
"It wasn't their fault, but they're bearing the brunt," he said.
"I urge the (Indonesia badminton) association to take measures to question BWF and its Asia federation so that people know that we won't stand for it. We feel the injustice in our players."]
