Lee Zi Jia will head up a star-studded Malaysia team for badminton's 2021 World Championships in Huelva, Spain from 12-19 December.
The BWF World Tour Finals only concluded last week in Bali, so players will have to adjust to the time difference in Europe quickly, as they look to end their season on a high.
Unlike the tour finals, this competition will be a straight knock-out format, meaning every player will have to be in form straight from the first serve.
Malaysian seventh seeds Chan Peng Soon and Goh Liu Ying will not compete in the event, having announced their split as a pair on Monday after 13 years together.
Malaysians to look out for at the 2021 World Championships

Men's singles: Lee Zii Jia, Liew Daren, Cheam June Wei
