There was seemingly a theme to the questions asked at the press conference that followed the Premier Badminton League 2017 auction in New Delhi on Wednesday. It was about the relatively modest sums commanded by Olympic medallists PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal, who were picked up for Rs 39 lakh and Rs 33 lakh respectively. But one player was not complaining.Kidambi Srikanth, the Rio Olympics quarterfinalist, turned out to be the highest priced Indian, having been bought for Rs 51 lakh by Awadhe Warriors -- up from a base price of Rs 33 lakh.I think I got off easily, jokes K Srikanth, 23, who was not expecting to attract that kind of money. Im quite surprised myself. Everyone, including me, thought that Sindhu would be the top pick. I seriously doubt if anyone was expecting me to do that well.Srikanth isnt going to dwell on the auction for the league, which will be held in January. Hes simply looking to get back to competition as quickly as he can. Following his maiden Olympics, Srikanth played a couple of Super Series tournaments -- the Japan Open and Korea Open -- in October. He lost in the quarterfinals of the former and then in the first round of the latter.Srikanth reckons he had hurt himself in Japan but aggravated the injury -- a stress fracture on his right ankle -- during his loss in the Korea Super Series. The injury on his dominant leg meant that he was ruled out of the European leg of the international circuit and missed the Denmark Open and French Open Super Series. He had initially hoped to be able to recover in time for the China Open Super Series beginning November 15, but has now chosen to skip it.I had a little pain but I didnt think it would be that bad, says Srikanth. After the first MRI, I thought I would still be able to play in China but our physio C Kiran told me not to rush the recovery. He will also be skipping the Hong Kong Super Series that follows the one in Fuzhou, China.Being forced out of four consecutive Super Series events means Srikanth will undoubtedly fail to qualify for the Super Series Masters Finals at the end of the year. Only those ranked in the top eight of the world Super Series rankings qualify for the year-ender. Srikanth had a fair chance following the Japan Open; he was ranked 12th at the time but has now dropped to 19th and will likely slip further.Its clearly a disappointment. Among the Indians who took part in the Olympics, Srikanth had returned to competition the earliest -- just a month after Rio. And while his injury might have something to do with his eagerness to get back into competition, Srikanth says it was a risk he was willing to take. I was the only Indian mens singles player to have played the last two Super Series finals, so I was hoping to make it three in a row, he says. So I had to play the Super Series in Japan and Korea.As things stands, Srikanth tentatively hopes to return at the Macau Grand Prix Gold at the end of November. He began training in Hyderabad about a week ago. Ive got about three weeks to get fully fit for competition, he says. But I wont play Macau if Im not ready. If I do return, itll be when Im at a hundred per cent. Danny Manning Jersey .

Gerald Green and Miles Plumlee? Green had bounced around the NBA when he wasnt playing overseas. The Pacers gave up on Plumlee after just one season. Now Green and Plumlee are key cogs in the Suns surprising breakout season. There is no guarantee that the Team North America format will continue at the next World Cup. In fact, there are discussions going on between the NHL and NHLPA about that topic, which will obviously continue once the current tournament wraps up and the results evaluated. But in the event that it does, here is my glance toward what the next club might look like; specifically, who will be the best American and Canadian players under 24 at the time of that tournament?
