Lot needs to be done before CWG, say Indian shuttlers

India's top badminton players on Wednesday said a lot needs to be done before the Commonwealth Games to make the facilities at the newly constructed Siri Fort Complex at par with international standards.

Saina Nehwal and Jwala Gutta said the dusty warm-up area is one of the few points that need immediate attention. Though both agreed that the stadium is turning out to be of world-class standards, there are areas that need to be improved.

"The warm-up area is dusty. It is difficult for us to do stretching there before the match with so much of dust. It can cause allergy," said Saina.

"At the moment you cannot compare it with the facilities at Melbourne where the last Commonwealth Games were held. I think a lot need to be done before the Commonwealth Games."

Jwala concurred, saying things could be more organised.

"No doubt it is a world class stadium. But the arrangements could have been done in more organised way," she said.

Even international players complained about the dust and uneven drought of the air as the stadium is yet to be completed.
