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!. "
