Aaron Chia starts a trial partnership with junior Aaron Tai after BAM splits his long-time pair

New Straits Times reports that Aaron Chia begins a three-tournament trial with Aaron Tai (starting at the China Open) as part of national coach Herry Iman Pierngadi’s men’s doubles reshuffle, with Chia later slated to team up with Tee Kai Wun for the European swing in October. The Star separately frames the move as BAM’s experience-plus-youth “mix and match” plan toward LA 2028, with Rexy Mainaky saying the shake-up is about building depth rather than abandoning Chia’s former pairing with Soh Wooi Yik.
