"Me and Kamilla love playing in India. We are still the same badminton players, we won't change anything, we won't change how to act, or behave when we visit other countries and I hope we are still respected and loved the way we have always been," said Pedersen. They are scheduled to play in the upcoming Premier Badminton League for different franchises.
