The BWF said they were “not at this time planning to make any changes” to the calendar, notwithstanding the Portuguese International Championships, becoming the latest event Contest was due to take place in Caldas da Rainha, beginning on Thursday, March 5, but has been called off

It joins the Lingshui China Masters, the German Open, International Vietnam Challenge and the Polish Open in being cancelled with all of the events apart of the Tokyo 2020 qualification process. A former world number one who won Olympic bronze at London 2012. It will be unfair for most of the players who are really close to qualifying for the Tokyo Olympic.

Kashyap added: “We all had seven events starting from the Spain Masters till the Singapore Open and an insufficient have the Asian Champs too. Now that German Open is canceled and the Swiss Open looking doubtful, and Singapore and Malaysia Opens also with the same worries, it will be completely unfair for so many athletes who are on the borderline of qualification at this moment. I hope all the athletes have a fair chance to qualify for the Tokyo Olympic.”

“The BWF is continuing to monitor all official updates on COVID-19 and is mindful that HSBC BWF World Tour and other BWF-sanctioned tournaments may be affected, but there are no concrete plans or decisions at this point to change the status of any other events,” a statement from the governing body said.

“With particular reference to Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games qualification, BWF is not at this time planning to make any adjustments to the regulations related to the Olympic qualification period.”
