Indian badminton stars Saina Nehwal, Parupalli Kashyap and HS Prannoy have been cleared to compete at the Thailand Open, the Badminton World Federation announced on Tuesday.
Nehwal was initially forced to withdraw from her first-round match on Tuesday after she returned a positive test for coronavirus. Kashyap, who had tested negative for the virus, also had to pull out as he was sharing a room with Nehwal, to whom he is married. There were doubts over Prannoy’s match on Wednesday as he too tested positive for Covid-19.
