Indonesia's former world badminton champion Taufik Hidayat will set up a badminton school in Jakarta to unearth fresh talent in his country, Malaysian media reported on Tuesday.

The Taufik Hidayat Arena will take shape next year, The Star reported on Tuesday, quoting the world number three who is playing in the Malaysian Open.

Hidayat told the paper that his decision was prompted by a lack of international success by the younger players of his country.

"I do not know what is preventing them from bursting on to the international stage," he said. "But I think it is the same phenomenon in Malaysia. Talent are just hard to come by nowadays."

Hidayat will be assisted by his long-serving coach Mulyo Handoyo in the project.

"I hope to identify players between the ages of 10 and 12 to be groomed to become world beaters," he said.

"This will take some time and I will probably be able to see new stars between the next seven and 10 years."

The Richard Vaughan Badminton Academy (RVBA) have an exclusive deal with Taufik Hidayat for a limited number of spaces at his training centre with the training overseen by Mulyo Handoyo.
