The Guyana Squash Association (GSA) has named a strong eight-member team to compete at the Pan American Championship in Guatemala from April 3-9.

Alex Arjoon and Nicolette Fernandes will lead the respective teams, and both are confident they have the quality in talent and preparation to achieve the ultimate objective – qualify for the Central American and Caribbean Games.

Arjoon, in particular, highlighted that it is potentially a great opportunity for Guyana to excel as they have prepared well, and maybe not a lot of the other nations competing would have been able to get such quality preparation due to the pandemic.
