Syafiq looking forward to playing with the stars in Birmingham

Rare opportunity: Syafiq Kamal (right) wants to make the most out of playing with top players like Paul Coll of New Zealand and Welshman joel Makin at the Commonwealth Games.

PETALING JAYA: Syafiq Kamal knows that a medal in the individual event is out of reach but playing among the top squash professionals in the Birmingham Commonwealth Games is an honour.

While Ng Eain Yow, the world No. 22, and Ivan Yuen (No. 56) have long secured their individual spots, the Squash Racquets Association of Malaysia (SRAM) had delayed naming the third and final spot until the National Championships a fortnight ago.
