Like every other sport, badminton has also come to a standstill due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now, the Hyderabad Open badminton tournament which was scheduled to be held from August 11 to 16, was cancelled by the sport's world governing body due to the growing threat of the coronavirus.
This tournament was one of the three to be held in India in the calendar announced by BWF on May 22 to restart the sport after the pandemic-forced cancellations since March.
"Health, safety and movement restrictions are now quite varied across the globe as certain countries and territories slowly return to a new normal," BWF Secretary General Thomas Lund stated.
The BWF also cancelled two other tournaments, "Australia Open" and "Korea Masters" in view of the global health crisis.
