World championship bronze medallist and one of the most elegant shuttlers in Indian badminton, B. Sai Praneeth, quit the sport on Monday.
“There is no specific reason but I felt the way I had to struggle last year because of a combination of factors including injuries, I thought I cannot cope with the demanding schedule of playing sometimes two matches in a day in some of the majors,” Praneeth informed The Hindu.
“Well, age is also a factor. At 32, I could have played at the most another one year. So, I took the call after discussing it with my parents and my wife (Sweta). There are no regrets at all,” he said.
