Sourabh Verma and Ajay Jayaram will spearhead the Indian challenge at the Chinese Taipei Open tomorrow.

Sourabh will take on local boy Lee Chia-Hao, while Ajay will meet Hashiru Shimono of Japan.

Indian shuttlers will also be seen in action in Women’s Singles and Men’s Doubles categories.

With Denmark Open and French Open scheduled later this month, top Indian shuttlers, including PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth, have decided to skip the Taipei event.
