“Squash was delighted to be part of the 2nd Asian Youth Games which have been so very well hosted in Nanjing, China,” said World Squash Federation President N Ramachandran. “I am sure all present will have been enthralled with the staging of the squash on the all-glass court and deeply impressed by seeing so much very bright talent on display from many parts of Asia.
 <\/p>\n
