BUKIT KIARA: Men's badminton doubles pair Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin Mohd Rumsani have decided to leave the national team.
According to Buletin Utama, the decision to leave the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) means that both players will continue their careers as professional players.
Malaysian Badminton Academy (ABM) director of coaching, Rexy Mainaky, did not deny this recent development but said that he was ready to explain during a special press conference on the national squad's performance scheduled for tomorrow (Aug 13).
"I can't comment at this point because I have to wait for any updates from the management and other discussions," Rexy responded today (Aug 12).
It is understood that the pair will follow in the footsteps of singles player Lee Zii Jia by joining an external brand.
Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin had previously split in January last year before reuniting six months later.
