"It is disappointing because every time I start to play well, I seem to injure myself. When Queen's Cup was about to happen I had a motorcycle accident. Now I have a fever and a wrist injury after falling down in front of the hotel. I think my wrist is feeling okay but I'm worried about my fever. That's my main concern now," said Khan.
"I'm putting a lot of ice on my wrist and it is way better now. If you are not fit, you can't play in all the big Asian Tour events that are coming up. I'm not going to play in the pro-am today. I'm going back to rest and hopefully recover," added the two-time Asian Tour winner.
Danny Chia of Malaysia will rely on accuracy over power when he defends his title at the USD 800,000 Mercuries Taiwan Masters.
The 43-year-old Chia hopes for a repeat success but he will face a strong challenge from man of the moment and home favourite Chan Shih-chang, who won his second Asian Tour title in 2016 on Sunday.
