India failed to qualify for the group stage in 2014 and Lakshya was not in the squad that reached the quarter-finals at last year’s edition of the Thomas Cup in Aarhus, Australia. Denmark.

“We have a balanced team and I think India are the underdogs of this edition. We have a good chance of reaching the quarter-finals, but we hope to go further.”

As the first single, Sen will face top group stage players such as Chou Tien Chen from Taiwan as well as rising young player from Canada, Brian Yang.
