The cream of international badminton will be seen in action during this event. Spain's Carolina Marin, Japan's Nozomi Okuhara and India's Saina Nehwal have confirmed their participation for this tournament.

The women's singles field is strong compared to men's singles.

Apart from Srikanth, Parupalli Kashyap, Lakshya Sen, Subhankar Dey and Ajay Jayaram will be keen to make a mark at this event. Agencies
