Its not as big as it was (which is very sad) but its not completely dead. Every now and then i get news about emerging players winning some squash tournaments here and there so i hope things get better. Its a damn good sport.

I think they are good in singles and in double ranking is not good.

Congratulations.

But it was not a big tournament where top players participate. To put things in perspective, the two indian brothers who made it to finals rank not even in top 1300 globally.

I am surprised this is news for Saama with the headline Pakistan defeats India. Its a corporate tournament held in Nepal. No ranking points.
