London Olympics bronze medallist and ace shuttler Saina Nehwal said that India now needed a lot more attacking players with all-round skills in the women’s section.
“Honestly, there is a huge gap between us (Saina and P.V. Sindhu) and the current crop of players. We really need players who can attack right through a match like myself and Sindhu do,” the 33-year-old Saina said after being named mentor for Badminton Pros (badminton coaching academy) launched by Vijay Lancy and Anup Sridhar here on Wednesday.
“I do hope we will get results soon in the women’s section too. At the same time, I don’t think we need only specialised women coaches. It will take time for sure,” she said.
