No money for travel or stay: Why Indian badminton players had to fund their own Europe tour?

What's behind this

A dispute between the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and Badminton Association of India (BAI) over the release of funds left Indian badminton players to cover their own travel and accommodation costs for a European tour. Officials said the administrative back‑and‑forth delayed fund clearance, forcing players such as PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen to pay their way. Despite the lack of support, both Sindhu and Sen returned with titles at the Hylo Open.
