Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the governing body of sports in India has not been able to conduct any Under-13 badminton tournaments since 2019. Although BAI resumed other category tournaments, including a couple of Senior All India Ranking events, they were waiting for the pandemic to end for the resumption of sub-junior events. The BAI was not in a hurry to restart the sub-junior event in view of the safety of the Under-13 boys and girls. Now, with all the COVID-19 restrictions being lifted by government authorities, the BAI has announced a couple of sub-junior tournaments, much to the relief of the U-13 players. The first will be held in Hyderabad from June 19 to 25 while the second will be played in Goa from June 27 to July 3. In this regard, a circular was released by the BAI joint secretary and convener of the tournament committee to all the affiliated state units on Thursday. The total prize money for each tournament will be ₹3 lakhs.
