India has announced its badminton team for the Asian Games, scheduled for September 19 to October 4. The squad is led by PV Sindhu and the men’s doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, as India aims to match or improve on its performance at the 2023 edition.
The Badminton Association of India selects the players based on recent form and rankings. The team combines experienced campaigners with a mix of younger players. Alongside the leading figures, the squad includes players such as Lakshya Sen, HS Prannoy and Kidambi Srikanth. It also features younger talent, including Ayush Shetty and Unnati Hooda.
While the outlets provide an overview of the main leadership and the balance between experience and emerging players, the selection process and the overall objective for the Games—replicating or surpassing the previous showing—are consistent across reports.
