Ramit Tandon is the sole new face in the India men’s squash team for the Asian Games to be held in Jakarta in August.
The women’s team features two newcomers — Tamil Nadu’s Sunayna Kuruvilla and Delhi’s Tanvi Khanna.
The men’s team was picked with the June PSA rankings as the key parameter.
The other three players in the team are Saurav Ghosal, Harinder Pal Sandhu and Mahesh Mangaonkar.
With the Joshna Chinappa and Dipika Pallikal becoming easy selections in the women’s team, there was selection trials for the remaining two slots here at the Indian Squash Academy (ISA) for five days from June 5 from which Sunayna and Tanvi were picked.
This same women’s team will participate in the World team championship in China (Dalian) in September.
The squads:
Men: Saurav Ghosal, Harinder Pal Sandhu, Ramit Tandon and Mahesh Mangaonkar.
Women: Joshna Chinappa, Dipika Pallikal, Sunayna Kuruvilla and Tanvi Khanna.
