Nehwal had said she has no fitness concerns. "There is no injury issue but if three tournaments were there it would have made sense... I thought directly from January, I can go for the Asian tour," she said.
The Badminton World Federation (BWF) had postponed the Thomas and Uber Cup finals, cancelled the Denmark Masters and also postponed three events in Asia.
Kashyap also missed the Demark Open for similar reasons.
"I too feel it is not worth the risk to go all the way for one tournament. It is better to start the season afresh participating in the Asia leg from January," Kashyap had said.

The BWF also cancelled the World Junior Championships that was due to be held in New Zealand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The tournament had already been postponed from May 2020 to October and then finally to January 2021.
The BWF secretary-general Thomas Lund that travel restrictions in New Zealand and the quarantine rules related to the pandemic made staging the event "impossible."
