SINGAPORE, Jan 20: India’s Asian Championships bronze-winning former shuttler Anup Sridhar was on Monday roped in as a singles coach by the Singapore Badminton Association (SBA).
However, South Korean Kim Ji-hyun will continue to be the head coach for SBA’s men’s and women’s teams.
SBA refuted media reports that the 41-year-old Sridhar, who has three international titles and a Commonwealth Games mixed team bronze to his credit, was going to be the men’s singles head coach. SBA had advertised for the position of an additional singles coach. Sridhar was captain of the Indian Thomas cup team in 2006 and 2008.
He represented India at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and was the top-ranked Indian men’s singles player between 2005 and 2008.
Since retiring from competitive badminton in 2015, Sridhar has been involved in coaching some big names in Indian badminton, including two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen. (PTI)
