The tournament comprises two equivalent biennial championships - the Thomas Cup is for men and the Uber Cup is for women.

Indonesia, with 14 titles, is the most successful team in the Thomas Cup. China comes in second with 10 titles, while Malaysia holds the third spot with 5 titles. However, India has risen as a major contender with players like HS Prannoy and Lakshya Sen. Having won their maiden title in 2022, they are coming as the defending champions.

India has never won the Uber Cup but is hoping to secure their first trophy this year. Since 1998, only China, Korea and Japan have claimed the championship. In the previous year, Korea emerged victorious in tough competition against China.

Unfortunately, India will be missing some of their best players like PV Sindhu, Ashwini Ponnappa and Tanisha Crasto. The spotlight will be on Anmol Kharb, who was the key player during India's winning campaign at the Badminton Asia Team Championships.

Thomas Cup squad: 

Singles - HS Prannoy, Lakshya Sen, Kidambi Srikanth, Priyanshu Rajawat and Kiran George

Doubles - Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, Chirag Shetty, MR Arjun, Dhruv Kapila and Sai Pratheek
