Pakistan Badminton Federation (PBF) senior vice president Syed Naqi Mohsin believes that if the Pakistan’s top doubles pair of Rizwan Azam and Kashif Sulehri feature in international tournaments as their Indian counterparts do, they can easily qualify for London Olympics 2012.
The two players didn’t undergo any camp and have featured in only two tournaments during the last year. However, their performance in the recently concluded Maldives International Badminton Championship shows that they have great potential and if they get proper exposure in the international arena they can easily break into World top 50 rankings in the doubles ranking which is enough to qualify for the Olympics,” Naqi told PPI. Rizwan and Kashif clinched the doubles title in Maldives Challenge after pulling some sensational upsets throughout their winning spree in the event. Maldives Challenge, which had participants from 15 countries, offered world ranking points and a total prize of US$ 15,000.
