Shuttler H S Prannoy feels India’s historic Thomas Cup win in Bangkok earlier this year may have changed things in smaller ways, but the big changes have yet to come.

In a report, Prannoy said that he did not think anything big had changed [since the Thomas Cup win]. He believed that perhaps it was a short-lived thing for some, and players have to do something large like at cricket level. He stated that people are still hesitant to sponsor badminton events and leagues in India. Badminton is the highest played sport in the country, he said, but they were still behind when it comes to sponsorships.
