2025 Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships: Preview, schedule, and more

The 2025 Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships are scheduled to begin on Tuesday, February 11, in Qingdao, China, and they promise to bring some exciting action. India head into the event as the bronze-medalists from the 2023 edition and will look to build on that performance.

The nation's squad at the 2025 BAMTC originally consisted of 14 shuttlers but the number is now down to 13 after PV Sindhu withdrew due to a hamstring injury she suffered during practice.

India's campaign in Qingdao will now be spearheaded by Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, Lakshya Sen, and HS Prannoy. Joining them on the men's team are MR Arjun, Dhruv Kapila, and Sathish Kumar Karunakaran.

On the other hand, the Indian women's squad at the Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships consists of Malvika Bansod, Treesa Jolly, Gayathri Gopichand, Ashwini Ponappa, Tanisha Crasto, and Aadya Variyath.

Overall the Indian team features a good mix of experienced stars and rising talent, and the nation's shuttlers look poised to build on their success from the 2023 BAMTC.
