Ghanaian badminton player, Leslie Addo, has revealed that Team Ghana received equipment for the games on the opening day which contributed to their struggles at the event.

Aaron Tamakloe and Rabiatu Ofoli were turfed out in straight sets by Algeria’s Dounia Naama and Sifeddine Larbaoui.
Ebenezer Korampong and Moslena Adu also suffered defeat to Nigeria’s Zainab Alabi and Aliyu Shehu.
The misery heightened after Alphous and Prospera Nantuo lost to South Africa’s Caden Kakora and Johanita Scholtz.
Samuel Lamptey, Aaron Tamakloe and Ahmed Abdul-Samed, Kelvin Alphous also got eliminated in the Men's Doubles.
"The racket I used for the tournament, I got it yesterday. [Boot], I wear size 47, they gave me 36, what am I going to use it for," Leslie told JoySports.
"[On our way coming] we sat in our coach's vehicle and it was a pickup. We didn't get any transport, we, host nation Ghana!. "
However, Leslie and Ebenezer Korampong are through to the quarter finals of the men’s doubles after beating Burkina Faso’s Mohamadi Ouedraogo and Aboul Fatao Tapsob in straight sets.
