been

earlier

The
tournament,
which
was
slated

was
preponed
due

stadium
availability
issues.

season-ending
event
will
now
be
held
at
the
Nimibutr
Arena
in
Bangkok
from
December
7
to

“BWF
in
consultation
with
the
Chinese
Badminton
Association
(CBA)
agreed
to
relocate
the
HSBC
BWF
World
Tour
Finals
2022
due
to
the
various
challenges
brought
about
by
the
current
pandemic
situation,”
the
BWF
said
in
a
statement.
“BWF
would
also
like
to
thank
the
Badminton
Association
of
Thailand
for
providing
a
replacement
location
for
the
HSBC
BWF
World
Tour
Finals
2022
at
such
late
notice.”
BWF
added
that
it
will
confirm
the
list
of
qualified
athletes
for
the
tournament
on
November
22
after
the
conclusion
of
the
ongoing
Australian
Open.
HS
Prannoy
will
be
the
lone
Indian
representative
at
the
World
Tour
Finals
as
double
Olympic
medallist
PV
Sindhu,
who
has
also
qualified
for
the
season-ending
event,
pulled
out
of
the
tournament
as
she
is
yet
to
fully
recover
from
a
stress
fracture
on
her
left
ankle.
