India to host the Squash World Cup 2011

Delhi kids and keen parents could plan to visit Chennai.......!!

"The already strong programme of squash majors has been enlivened
today by the announcement that the SDAT WSF World Cup will take place
in India next year from 812 March.

Spearheaded by the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu (SDAT),
the biennial event will be held in Chennai in 2011, 2013, and 2015,
with the final rounds next year being played on an all-glass show court
erected at the Express Avenue Mall, the largest shopping complex in
southern India.

Sixteen national teams featuring top players from all over the world
will compete, with two men and one woman being the format. Favourites
to be vying for the title are expected to include Australia, Egypt,
England, France, Malaysia, Netherlands, and hosts India.

Thanks to the relentless efforts of World Squash Federation President
Mr N Ramachandran, the Tamil Nadu Government is contributing a total of
one million dollars for the next five years. In granting this
sponsorship, the TN Government spoke highly of the efficient and
professional manner in which the Tamil Nadu Squash Rackets Association
functions:

We are eagerly looking forward to hosting the worlds best squash
players in Chennai, said a delighted TNSRA Secretary General Mr
Srivatsan Subramaniam. The event next year will feature a prize fund of
$(US)125,000, with $(US)50,000 going to the winning team.

Enthusiastically welcoming the championship which will be played in his
home city, WSF President Ramachandran explained: "Not only is this
exciting event a great boost for India, with the opportunity of
watching top stars competing in the flesh and on TV, but the bigger
picture is that we have added an important international event to our
shop-window."

Endorsing this, WSF Chief Executive Andrew Shelley added: "We see it as
essential to work with the mens and womens Tours to maximise our
media impact and to provide a full range of world titles for our sport.

"The World Cup is the only event in the squash calendar in which we
have a single competition for both men and women. Having one which is
staged every other year, starting next March, is a major step forward."
