Why don't they bid the double players as a pair? I'm wondering whether it has any effects on them as they play with different partners on this league and BWF tournaments.
I think the double players have their own priorities and commitments. Btw, Petaling BC looks strong with LCW, Zhou Yun Lei and Goh V Shem.
it looks like a KL-Selangor Badminton league rather than a Malaysia Badminton League. The other states are missing except Johor. lol
today start pre-season...!! only for rookie players to play, no professional players play today & tomorrow yet... http://www.purpleleague.com/match-day-current.php
