The badminton contingent for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games will be having a nine-member team consisting of three coaches and two physios alongside four qualified shuttlers.
Earlier the Badminton Association of India (BAI) had proposed a 7-member coaching and support staff to be sent along with the players. However, with the strict Covid-19 protocols and an allotted quota of 33 per cent of support staff alone for the number of qualified players, only a 5-member team of coaches and support staff have been allotted to travel with the badminton contingent.
