Took up squash because of my sister, says 15-year-old Anahat Singh ahead of Asian Games debut

The Hindu  

Anahat Singh, 15, is looking to build on the gains she made at the Commonwealth Games last year when she makes her Asian Games debut in Hangzhou next week. “I was playing badminton initially, and my sister used to play squash. Along with her, my family also kept me motivated all the time and helped me always.” The Indian squash contingent had a training camp here before heading to China under the guidance of former world champion Grégory Gaultier and former world number one James Willstrop. It was really great for the whole Indian team to have them around.” Anahat has a long career ahead of her, and she has also been dubbed as the next superstar of Indian squash.
