Previous squads
Thomas Cup
Notes
- ^ New Zealand withdrew from the tournament due to a significant number of their squad being unable to participate after testing positive for COVID-19. They were replaced by the United States as no other Oceanian member association was able to fulfil the continental quota place. Hong Kong and Spain, the next highest ranking member associations (overall), were also unable to participate.
