PETALING JAYA: Men's singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia suffered a huge blow after his hopes of competing in the All-England from March 3-8 in Birmingham were dashed.  

Based on the list of names of players released by the Badminton World Federation (BWF), Zii Jia, who made his comeback in the Malaysian Open earlier this month after an injury-hit 2025, found himself 16th in the reserves list and will not get to play in the Super 1000 competition for the first time since making his debut in the 2020 edition.
