World Junior Championships Mixed Team: Host India will face the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Sri Lanka, and Nepal in the BWF World Junior Championships Mixed Team event, following a group stage redraw on Wednesday. The withdrawal of the Cook Islands prompted the Badminton World Federation (BWF) to reshuffle the field for the current 36 countries participating in the tournament, also known as the Suhandinata Cup.

The forthcoming BWF World Junior Championships 2025, returning to India after 17 years, are all set to be staged in Guwahati from October 6-19, at the state-of-the-art National Centre of Excellence.

India, seeded second in the event, continues to feature in Group H at the qualifying stage. While Nepal retained its place in the group, the UAE and Sri Lanka have now been added to Group H as per the updated draw.
