NEW DELHI: Indian badminton players Lakshya Sen, Shubhankar Dey and Ajay Jayaram along with Lakshya's coach DK Sen and physio Abhishek Wagh have returned to India from Germany, the Badminton Association of India (BAI) said on Tuesday.

The trio's campaign at the Saar Lor Lux Open was derailed by Sen testing positive for Covid-19. The organisers then asked Lakshya, Dey and Jayaram to withdraw from the tournament. The BAI said in its statement that the trio were quarantined in Germany for five days and were allowed to travel back to India after a second test result came out negative. The players and staff are now home quarantined for seven days. IANS
