Bengaluru. Two-time Olympic medalist Indian badminton star PV Sindhu will not be able to play in the All England Championships in Birmingham due to the closure of airspace following the ongoing Gulf War and has returned home from Dubai. Sindhu was stuck in Dubai due to not being able to get a flight to England. She posted on X, “Back home in Bengaluru and safe.
The last few days have been extremely stressful and uncertain. I am grateful to God that I am back home.” She said, ”My heartfelt gratitude to Dubai’s excellent ground team, Dubai authorities, airport staff, immigration department and all those who took good care of us during this very difficult time. “His compassion and professionalism cannot be expressed in words.” “Now is the time to rest, refresh myself and think about the next competitions,” she said. Former world champion Sindhu was on her way to Birmingham via Dubai, but after the US and Israel’s attack on Iran, flight operations in the Gulf region were halted due to which she was stuck in Dubai. Iran retaliated and also attacked Dubai. Sindhu said that the experience was terrifying for her and her team. His team also included Indonesian coach Erwansyah Adi Pratama.
