AFTER walking out on the Singapore team seven months ago, Zhang Beiwen is now back in the national badminton fold.

The 18-year-old, who came here in 2003 under the Foreign Sports Talent (FST) scheme, was part of the Singapore side that won a team bronze at last year's World Youth Championships.

She left the Republic in April to play badminton for various clubs in countries like Malaysia and Taiwan, but was persuaded to return last week by the Singapore Badminton Association (SBA).
