An 11-member squad will represent India in the WSF World Junior Squash Championship to take place in Eindhoven, The Netherlands from August 26 to September 4.
With a bunch of 11 players, six of them girls, India will be in full strength at this Championship which will witness team competition for girls and individual events for boys and girls.
The squad comprises Adya Advani, Harshit Kaur Jawanda, Akanksha Salunkhe, Nikita Joshi (team and individual), Sunayna Kuruvilla, Jui Kalgutkar, Velavan Senthilkumar, Adhitya Raghavan, Sandeep Ramachandran, Vikas Mehra and Aishwarya Singh.
India's best show in the Championship was in 2009 in Chennai where the team consisting of Anwesha Reddy, Anaka Alankamony, Dipika Pallikal and Surbhi Mishra finished third.
At the last championship, two years ago, the Indian girls had finished seventh overall. Considering that only Harshit has the experience of having played in the World Championship, the side is short on experience but Poncha said there was depth in the talent overall and is confident that the girls will come up with an improved show.
