In a significant setback for India, two-time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu has pulled out of the 2025 Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships due to a hamstring injury. The prestigious tournament is scheduled to take place in Qingdao, China, from February 11 to 16. Sindhu's absence deals a blow to India's aspirations in the competition, where they had previously secured a bronze medal in 20232. The injury, sustained during training, forces a last-minute adjustment to the Indian squad, which had initially included Sindhu as a key player. This news comes from reports by Indian sports media outlets.
