Cross cautious about squash’s chances of retaining titles in Japan

PETALING JAYA: Squash coaching director Andrew Cross believes the national players are well prepared for the challenge ahead at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, but remains cautious about their chances of defending the three gold medals won in the sport.

Malaysia returned from the previous Hangzhou Games with three golds but with other countries having amped up their game, Cross said it won’t be a walk in the park for them to repeat their success in Japan from Sept 19-Oct 4.
