No KS or Pranav Jerry Chopra in the Indian TC contingent ?? 'course PK is injured so even he is missing! Quite poor

WR12 IND KIDAMBI Srikanth 1 129 - 69 $150,955.00 50,254 / 24 So sorry for SK as India's highest ranked MS, yet not selected for the Thomas Cup. Is he injured? It is true however that his form has not been good for quite some time.
I think Gopichand has decided to rest Srikanth, give him a break, train hard and get some confidence before Rio.
A high possibility that these two frontrunners will face off in finale, a rematch of 2014 Final Two years ago, Minatsu Mitani and Sayaka Takahashi were JPN leading ladies, now both of them are excluded of the list as their compatriots show excellent performance lately meanwhile China team has same WS squad with 2014 edition.
I don't think these lists are final as according to list indonessias nitya krishinda maheshwari not in list indians pradnya haste is missing whereas in an interview gopichand said that pradnya will play second doubles along with sikki reddy and srikanth is missing without any big headline or issue in india. Its a bit hyperbolic list.
Its not a big deal for india as I think the team is their best their every top 50 player is equaivalent with srikanth and I think they will make it to semis if their singles don't get upset.
News abt Srikanth skipping TC is published now. http://m.thehindu.com/sport/other-sports/badminton-srikanth-to-skip-thomas-cup/article8569993.ece
That's the final list. INA Uber Cup team has been updated in that list. Nitya will not playing due to injury after the longest match at BAC's semifinal last week.
Can it be worse for the INA uber team! They've already very lil hopes from their singles stars and now their almost sure-shot pt is surrounded by huge typhoon! No NKM/GP no pt to score
Indeed, it'll be tough task to beat THA and tops group C, being runner-up will meet one of possible group winner, CHN, JPN, KOR or THA again at knock-out stage.
The H2H Record will be: Maria Febe vs Ratchanok H2H 0-5 Anggia/Ketut vs Puttita/Sapsiree H2H 0-0 Hana Ramadhini vs Porntip H2H 0-0 Della/Rosyita vs Jongkolphan/Rawinda H2H 1-0 Fitriani vs Busanan H2H 1-0 INA should get 1 point from their WS2/WS3 and get clean sheet winning from their both WD. Let's see if they push their motivation to win, they will get a better chance.
