Tokyo Paralympics gold medal-winner Pramod Bhagat was on Thursday named among six shuttlers for the Male Para Badminton Player of the Year by the sport’s world body BWF but none of his compatriots featured in the able-bodied awards’ categories. 

Reigning world champion Bhagat, 33, who had won a historic gold medal in the men’s singles SL3 class in the Tokyo Olympics in September, was also named along with Manoj Sarkar for the newly introduced Para Badminton Pair of the Year, with five other nominees.
