“As a secretary of the state, we must promote badminton to all the corners of the state. There was heavy demand from the Jodhpur district to organize a major tournament this season so we have given them the All India Senior Ranking tournament. Udaipur too has good badminton infrastructure, and they will host the All India Junior U-19 tournament,” said Sharma, who is one of the most senior officials of the BAI.
The All India Junior tourney will be held from November 4 to 10 at Udaipur, while the seniors meet will take place from January 22 to 28, 2024 at Jodhpur. Sharma, who is the chairman of the BAI’s age fraud committee, has also hinted that the RBA will soon announce the state calendar. “We were waiting for the BAI to announce its yearly calendar. Now it has been out, we will now gear up to conduct the state tournaments in various categories,” added Sharma.
