Indian shuttler Parupalli Kashyap took to Twitter to criticise the revised BWF calendar for 2020, stating, "22 events in five months...practice hasn't begun yet." Replying to Kashyap, Sai Praneeth wrote, "People are saying to reduce travel and we're doing more travel than before." "Five months non-stop travel...what are the international guidelines of travelling?" replied Saina Nehwal.
