12-member Indian team for WSF-World junior squash in NZ

Chennai, July 14 (UNI) A 12-member Indian team–boys and girls–will leave here tomorrow for the WSF-World junior squash championship to be held at Tauranga city in New Zealand from July 19 to 29.
The Championship this year will witness individual competition for boys and girls followed by the team event for girls only, a SRFI release said here today.
In the last championship held in Poland, Pakistan had won the boys’ title and Eain Yow Nq of Malaysia was the individual boys winner.
The girls winner was Egypt’s Nouran Gohar.
From India’s point of view, Velavan Senthilkumar’s quarterfinal finish was the highlight. He also helped India finish sixth overall in the team event. India’s best in the junior championship has been a third place finish by the girls in 2009 in Chennai.
This time the preparation for this mega event turned a little high end with SRFI deciding to send ten members of the side to Egypt for a two-week specialised training.
Accordingly six boys–Abhay Singh, Aditya Raghavan, Aryaman Adik, Tushar Shahani, Veer Chotrani, Yash Fadte–and four girls, Akanksha Salunkhe, Sunayna Kuruvilla, Aishwarya Bhattacharya and Ashita Pranaya Bhengra, who play both team and individuals) were the beneficiaries. UNI
