Easy group for Bots in squash World Champs

The prestigious tournament, which serves as the world team championship for squash players, kicks off in Mulhouse, France, on Sunday. Botswana Squash Racket Association (BSRA) president, Tiego Rabasha is happy with the Group E seeding and believes the team can progress beyond the preliminary stages.

"The teams in our group are not really powerhouses and we have a chance to make it through to the next round,"Rabasha told Mmegi Sport. Perhaps the strongest of the teams in Group E are the Kiwis who have twice finished runners-up in 23 outings. Malaysia also have much experience after featuring in the World Squash team open 15 times. Their best finish was fifth in Chennai, India, in 2007. They have also won the Asian Squash Team Championship.
