A four-member Indian contingent – Abhay Singh, Veer Chotrani, Ramit Tandon and Velavan Senthilkumar – will look to navigate through a challenging draw at the World Squash Championships 2026, set to begin in Giza, Egypt, on Friday.
The PSA World Championships 2025-26, scheduled from May 8 to 16 at the Palm Hills Club and PGC Golf Central Mall, will be available to watch on live streaming in India.
Organised by the Professional Squash Association (PSA), the tournament will feature some of the world’s best players, including men’s world No. 1 Mostafa Asal and his women’s counterpart Hania El Hammamy of Egypt.
Asian Games medallist Abhay Singh, India’s best-ranked men’s singles player at world No. 22, will be up against fellow Indian squash player Veer Chotrani (world No. 43) in his first-round clash.
The winner will face either defending champion Mostafa Asal or Germany’s Raphael Kandra in the next round.
Velavan Senthilkumar faces a stern opening test against France’s sixth seed and current world No. 5 Victor Crouin.
Ramit Tandon, world No. 40, meanwhile, will take on Egypt’s Kareem El Torkey – a player ranked 19 places better off – in his opener.
At last year’s edition in Chicago, India’s campaign ended in the second round. Anahat Singh, Veer Chotrani, Abhay Singh and Ramit Tandon all exited after competitive losses, while Velavan Senthilkumar went down to Diego Elias in the opening round.
Indian women’s squash players, including Anahat Singh, are not competing this year.
India are yet to win a medal at the World Squash Championships for singles events to date.
Squash is all set to make its Olympic debut at LA 2028.
