Chance for juniors to strut their stuff

Ready for the challenge: Rachel Arnold will lead the Malaysian women’s team for the South-East Asian Squash Championships in Kuching from Feb 14-18.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia prefer to look at the absence of S. Sivasangari and Andrea Lee for the South-East Asian Squash Champion­ships, also known as the SEA Cup, as a blessing in disguise.

World No. 48 Sivasangari has pulled out from the tournament, to be held in Kuching from Feb 14-18, in order to obtain a visa to compete in the Texas Open from Feb 28-March 5.
