The Badminton World Federation (BWF) said it had taken forward a proposal from Badminton Indonesia and Badminton Maldives to amend the rulebook.
Matches are played in a best-of-three format at present, with the winner of each game being the first player to 21 points.
The change proposes a best of five games of 11 points format in a bid to increase excitement and make the sport more television friendly.
