Srikanth hires Indonesian coach with Olympics in mind

The Hindu  

Keeping the Paris Olympics in mind, star Indian shuttler Kidambi Srikanth has hired an Indonesian coach to help him ramp up his game in the run-up to next year’s showpiece. India is yet to appoint a foreign coach for men’s singles players since the abrupt departure of Indonesia’s Agus Dwi Santoso in December 2021. However, Srikanth didn’t get the time to train with his new coach as he participated in the selection trials for the Asian Games. “Badminton also keeps evolving, there will be someone who will come and dominate and people will have to come up with an alternate formula.” Srikanth had won a world championships silver in 2021 before guiding India to a historic Thomas Cup win last year.
