Disgraced shuttler Kenichi Tago is looking to continue his career overseas after receiving an indefinite suspension by the Nippon Badminton Association for gambling at illegal casinos in Japan.

"I only have myself to blame for no longer being able to play in Japan. But I have again come to realize that badminton is the only way for me," the 26-year-old, who will fly to Malaysia this month to find a new team, told Kyodo News.

Tago lost a total of around ¥10 million over 60 visits to casinos in Tokyo and Yokohama from October 2014 to January this year.
