Squash players do country proud at Games opening

THE feat may have gone unnoticed but women’s squash has received deserving recognition as six players were given the honour by their respective nations to become flagbearers at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games on Thursday.

Aifa Azman followed Malaysian legend Nicol David’s footsteps to become the flagbearer with para powerlifter Bonnie Bunyau Gustin at the Alexander Stadium. In 2014, Nicol led eight Asian countries during the Glasgow Games.
