Premier Badminton League season 6 to get underway from December 17

PBL
is
one
of
the
world’s
top
badminton
leagues,
which
is
organised
by
SportzLive—the
official
license
holder
of
the
league
under
the
aegis
of
the
Badminton
Association
of
India
(BAI).

The
upcoming
edition
of
the
league
will
once
again
bring
exciting
world-class
badminton
action
to
the
fans
after
a
break
of
two
years,
owing
to
the
pandemic.

“We
are
thrilled
with
the
return
of
PBL.
It’s
a
crucial
part
of
Indian
badminton
and
has
contributed
to
growth
of
the
sport
in
the
country.
It
has
provided
a
much-needed
platform
for
our
young
players
to
showcase
their
talent
on
such
a
huge
global
platform,
and
its
return
is
much
awaited
by
the
entire
badminton
fraternity,”
said
Himanta
Biswa
Sarma,
President
of
Badminton
Association
of
India.

Premier
Badminton
League
has
emerged
as
the
gamechanger
for
Indian
badminton
since
its
inception
in
2016.

“Indian
shuttlers
have
hugely
benefitted
from
PBL
while
playing
alongside
the
world’s
greatest
players.
The
budding
players
have
grown
in
confidence
and
experiences
while
interacting
and
I
firmly
believe
the
league
will
give
a
strong
platform
to
BAI
to
create
a
lot
more
bench
strength
in
the
coming
times,”
said
Sanjay
Mishra,
Secretary,
BAI.

The
league
has
witnessed
participation
of
world’s
biggest
names
in
the
last
five
seasons
such
as
Indian
stars
Saina
Nehwal,
PV
Sindhu
and
Kidambi
Srikanth
as
well
as
the
Olympic
champion
Carolina
Marin,
Viktor
Axelsen,
Tai
Tzu-Ying
and
Lee
Chong
Wei
among
others.

“It
was
a
tough
period
for
all
of
us.
We
are
fortunate
enough
to
have
been
loved
by
the
people
and
their
love
makes
this
league
one
of
the
biggest
events
in
the
badminton
world.
Since
the
start
of
the
league
to
today’s
date,
the
level
of
the
game
has
gone
up
immensely
in
India.
We
are
committed
to
developing
badminton
in
India
and
thus,
delighted
to
announce
the
return
of
Premier
Badminton
League.
We
promise
the
same
level
of
breathtaking
action
for
the
fans
through
this
season,”
said
Prasad
Mangipudi,
Managing
Director
of
SportzLive.

The
return
of
Premier
Badminton
League,
especially
following
Thomas
Cup
and
Commonwealth
Games
medals,
will
definitely
catapult
Indian
badminton
fans
and
the
interest
for
the
game
in
the
country.
