KUALA LUMPUR: Men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia will not be in action any time soon, having withdrawn from all upcoming tournaments this month.
Based on the player list released by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) on its website, the world No 6 will miss next week’s India Open from Jan 14 to 19.
The 26-year-old has also pulled out of the 2025 Indonesia Masters, which is set to take place at Istora Senayan in Jakarta from Jan 21 to 26.
Zii Jia earlier withdrew from the BWF World Tour 2025 season opener, the six-day Malaysia Open, which began today at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil here.
According to a social media post by Team LZJ last Friday, the Paris Olympic Games bronze medallist has not fully recovered from the right ankle ligament injury sustained in Hangzhou, China, last month.
