The Squash Rackets Federation of India (SRFI) has provisionally selected the Indian men’s and women’s teams for the Asian Games to be held in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan after the four-day selection trials that concluded at the ISTA here on Monday.
There will be a training camp for the players from August 1 to 8 at ISTA where SRFI is exploring the possibility of roping in three foreign players, ranked inside the top-35 in the world, for sparring with the Indians.
SRFI is also scouting for a foreign coach to assist head coach Harinderpal Singh Sandhu during the camp. Harinderpal and the foreign coach will travel with the team to Japan.
Abhay Singh and Veer Chotrani will compete in men’s singles at the Games while Anahat Singh and Tanvi Khanna will feature in singles in the women’s category.
Mixed doubles will have two pairs -- Velavan Senthilkumar and Joshna Chinappa and Shameena Riaz and Suraj Chand.
On Monday, Shameena also qualified as the fourth player of the women’s team after Akansha Salunkhe retired midway leading 9-8 in the first game due to a knee injury in the play-off at the trials.
The team: Men: Abhay Singh, Veer Chotrani, Velavan Senthilkumar, Suraj Chand.
Women: Anahat Singh, Tanvi Khanna, Joshna Chinappa, Shameena Riaz.
