KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 22<\/strong> — Despite being unwell for the last two weeks, national singles shuttler Ng Tze Yong is still expected to play in the All England 2023 in\u00a0Birmingham from March\u00a014 to\u00a019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National singles coach Hendrawan said the Commonwealth Games 2022 silver medallist had been suffering from a persistent cough, which had forced him to skip training at the Academy Badminton Malaysia in Bukit Kiara here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have given him a few days off to rest,\u201d he briefly told reporters before leaving the training venue today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world number\u00a028 last played in the Thailand\u00a0Masters 2023 in Bangkok held from Jan\u00a031 to Feb\u00a05, where he lost 14-21, 20-22 to Hong Kong\u2019s Angus Ng Ka Long\u00a0in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n

Meanwhile, up and coming mixed doubles player Toh Ee Wei is determined to gain a place in the team for Sudirman Cup 2023 in Suzhou, China, from May 14 to 21 with her partner Chen Tang Jie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite facing stiff competition from other pairs including professionals Tan Kian Meng-Lai Pei Jing and Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie, Ee Wei said she would make the best of the opportunity if selected for the tournament in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On her debut at last week\u2019s Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships (BAMTC) 2023 in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, the 22-year-old said it was a valuable experience although the national team lost 2-3 to eventual champions China in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe tried our best against China but had no luck,\u201d said Ee Wei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Dubai, Tang Jie-Ee Wei played in two Group B matches, including in Malaysia\u2019s 5-0 win over Kazakhstan when they beat Makhsut Tadzhibullaev-Aisha Zhumabek 21-9, 21-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they lost to Ishaan Bhatnagar-Tanisha Crasto 19-21, 21-19, 16-21 in their final Group B match when India beat Malaysia 4-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She hopes to strengthen herself and give a better performance in several tournaments in Europe next month, including the German Open and All England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
