Squash Australia Announces Squad for SDAT Squash World Cup in Chennai

Published Wed 03 Dec 2025

Squash Australia is pleased to announce the four-person squad donning the green and gold at the SDAT Squash World Cup in Chennai between 9-14 December. 

While Alex Haydon is unavailable due to injury, Madison Lyon and Jess van der Walt (QLD) will join Dylan Molinaro and Joseph White (NT) to represent Australia at this exciting tournament. 

White, Australia’s highest ranked male player (No. 89) is currently vying for a Semi-Final spot at the HCL Squash Indian Tour 4 in Chennai. The 2025 Australian National Championship title holder will team up with Molinaro, who was recently crowned the men’s 2025 Australian Squash Tour Champion.

Van der Walt will look to continue her form from the 2025 London Open which saw her advance to the Semi-Finals a fortnight ago. She will pair up with Lyon, who was named female 2025 Australian Squash Tour Champion after an outstanding campaign on the national circuit.

12 teams from around the world have been divided into four pools. Australia has landed in Pool C and will face off against Malaysia and debutants Poland. 

The 2025 SDAT Squash World Cup returns to Chennai where the tournament introduced several format updates, including games played to seven points and sudden-death deciders at 6-6. These additions created a faster, more dynamic style of play. 

With teams made up of two men and two women, each tie consists of four matches with every match played as a best-of-five.
