Indonesia Open: For few reasons Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap pull out of tournament.

In absence of Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap, Lakshya Sen and PV Sindhu would be in focus as they look to hit top gear in the build-up to the Commonwealth Games, starting July 28.

Just a day before the Indonesian Open Super Series 500 event begins, Indian badminton superstars Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap have announced their absence from the event. This announcement hurts many heart of their fans but Saina has placed some proper reasons related to workload pressure whereas Kashyap has said that he is not in the best of his health and still has some problems with his hamstring.

"I had injured my hamstring just before the selection trials and that took seven weeks to heal, then I had an ankle issue," Kashyap told to the media.

"I am fine now. But I need to get my fitness back. Hope to play a few of the next four events".

"Saina withdrew because there are so many tournaments so she thought it is better if she plays next week and skips this one. She is fine," Kashyap added to his comment.
