Major change in badminton! BWF approves new 3×15 scoring system

 The BWF has approved a new 3×15 scoring system in badminton, set to be implemented from January, after strong support at its AGM. While trials showed shorter, more exciting matches, opinions are divided. PV Sindhu urged meaningful change, Satwik welcomed it for doubles, but Saina Nehwal and coach Vimal Kumar opposed it, fearing it could dilute the sport’s essence. The BWF has approved a new 3×15 scoring system in badminton, set to be implemented from January, after strong support at its AGM.
