Squash's Inclusion In Olympics Forces Saurav Ghosal To Rethink His Future Plans
There was not a chance in hell that India's finest squash player Saurav Ghosal would continue playing the game in his 40s but the sport's inclusion in the 2028 Olympics after decades of wait has forced the 37-year-old to rethink about his future plans. In a testament to his remarkable longevity, Ghosal has managed to stay at the top of his game for the major part of his professional career that began as a teenager way back in 2003. The world number 18 has got a bagful of medals over the six Asian Games that he has been part of and last year became the first Indian to win a singles medal in the highly-competitive Commonwealth Games. However, all those laurels came his way amid the disappointment of squash being ignored for Olympics, edition after edition, over the past 20 years. Monday's announcement provided a sense of relief and ecstacy for Ghosal and his generation which grew up dreaming about a medal at the Summer Games.
