Indians off to Paris for World women’s squash championship

The Indian team, including Joshna Chinappa and Dipika Pallikal Karthik, will be leaving early on Saturday morning for Paris to take part in the World women’s team squash championship scheduled to be held in the French capital from November 27 to December 3.

Unlike in the past, the team had a rigorous camp stretching to over three weeks at the Indian Squash Academy here under the watchful eyes of both National coach Cyrus Poncha and Egyptian coach Achraf El Karargui. Besides Chinappa and Pallikal, Akanksha Salunkhe and Sunayna Kuruvilla are also in the team and Karargui said he was happy that all members showed the deserved importance to the camp.

“They are all tuned up and should do well,” he said.
