Los Angeles Olympic Games: With squash set to feature as a medal event in the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028, three-time Commonwealth Games medallist Saurav Ghosal said he hoped Indian players would do well when the sport features in the mega event. It was in October last year, that squash fans received the news that the sport has received a nod from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to be featured at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

On Monday, the three-time Commonwealth Games medalist, Ghosal opened up on the excitement regarding the sport's appearance in the Olympic Games and said he is wishing for a solid showing for squash on the biggest stage.

"This is something we've been working towards for the last 20 years. And when you have worked so hard for so long and then you finally get it, it tastes so much sweeter. It is a red-letter day for the sport of squash globally that we are into the Olympics," said Ghosal on the sidelines of the Bengaluru Torpedoes vs Mumbai Meteors match in the Prime Volleyball League. "But I'm sure, with the athletes that we have at the world stage, we deserve that platform to showcase what we're all about, and hopefully, the Indian Squash squad will put on a great show in LA," he said.
