CHENNAI, (IANS) – With squash set to feature as a medal event in the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028, three-time Commonwealth Games medalist Saurav Ghosal said he hoped Indian players would do well when the sport features in the mega event.

The three-time Commonwealth Games medalist, Ghosal said, “This is something we’ve been working towards for the last 20 years. And when you have worked so hard for so long and then you finally get it, it tastes so much sweeter. It is a red-letter day for the sport of squash globally that we are into the Olympics.”  He added, “I’m sure, with the athletes that we have at the world stage, we deserve that platform to showcase what we’re all about, and hopefully, the Indian Squash squad will put on a great show in LA,” he said.
