Taiwan takes on India this weekend in the first round of Group I play at Indore, India. As first round play is always around Chinese New Years, Taiwan doesn't have its A team for this round. Lu Yen-Hsun is taking time off at home in Taiwan for the holidays while Jimmy Wang is busy at a challenger in Panama. Instead, Yang Tsung-Hua, Chen Ti, Peng Hsien-Yen, and Lee Hsin-Han will represent the Taiwanese contingent.
India will be the overwhelming favorites with two top 200 single players (Somdev Devvarman and Yuki Bhambri) and a top 15 doubles player (Rohan Bopanna). There's a strong chance India will go 5-0 this weekend.
Taiwan avoided relegation last year by beating Indonesia.
I do feel like Taiwan should stay in Group I this year as on paper they're stronger than Korea and New Zealand.
