Rising star Abhay Singh ready to take the next step, says there is no hole in Indian squash after Ghosal’s retirement

The Hindu  

Retired squash icon Saurav Ghosal’s legacy looms large, but India possesses a pool of promising players capable of ensuring a seamless transition, said world no. Abhay had sealed India’s victory over Hong Kong, ensuring a fifth-place finish for the Indian men’s team at the World Squash Team Championships. I’m entering the new year feeling positive and happy, with plans to carry this momentum forward.“ The retirement of top players like Saurav Ghosal has created a massive void in Indian squash. That’s the best way to keep improving.“ Abhay overhauled his coaching staff after the Asian Games and is now training under two new coaches — James Willstrop and David Campion — and a new physio and trainer. I didn’t move up in the rankings for 14 months, so I thought it was time for a change.“ Abhay also revealed that he has brought in two mental coaches.
