Barbara Banda was put on medication prior to the tournament and it was hoped the medication will respond quickly but to no avail. \u201cThe medical team recommended she be given an opportunity without being dropped outright and she was still given that opportunity up to the last minute when the final team was announced,\u201d the Faz president explained to the BBC.<\/p>\n
