Though BAI was in talks with him for some time, Tan Kim Her had asked for more time to make up his mind as the Malaysian federation wanted him to continue as coach.
During his first stint, Tan had played a vital role in the rise of Indian doubles players Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy as they made breakthroughs on the Tour, besides winning individual silver and team gold at Commonwealth Games in 2018.
The BAI would continue to support both of them like always and provide them funding for exposure trips," he said.
