WJC Profile | Soha Khatri
South Australian Soha Khatri has had a unique journey with Squash. After relocating to Egypt with her family at 9 years old for her two older brothers to advance their Squash training, Soha decided she would also join the game.
WJC Profile | Courtney Scholtz
Victorian Courtney Scholtz is no stranger to international youth squash competitions, representing Australia at last year’s World Junior Championships, and the up-and-coming player is now preparing to take on the world once again.
Born in South Africa, Courtney first found her love for the sport after moving to Australia 12 years ago, with her parents encouraging her to pick up a racquet.
WJC Profile | William Slade
Last week we were introduced to James Slade, a twin on the World Junior Championships team who will play alongside his brother William.
Unsurprisingly, William’s career closely mirrors that of James with their training and tournaments following each other around Sydney, NSW, Australia… and now, the world.
WJC Profile | Sarbani Maitra
The recently crowned U19 and U17 Girls Queensland Junior Champion, Sarbani Maitra has always loved the fast-paced nature of the sport, first picking up a racquet when she was nine years old.
The now 15-year-old reflected that attending the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games and watching the Squash competition at Carrara Stadium was a catalyst for her setting the goal of representing Australia.
WJC Profile | Haider Naqvi
With parents who played squash, Haider Naqvi took up the sport around eight years ago and simply hasn’t looked back.
While admitting to being a boxing fan - and citing Joe Frazier as his favourite athlete - Haider has only ever played squash and his commitment to sport has seen his game develop rapidly in recent years.
