The soaring December heat didn't affect the quality of play displayed by the strong contingent of Zambian players who were determined to play their best squash.

The prize? To get selected for the "Olympics of Squash" - the Commonwealth Games.

Most of the players are based outside Zambia in neighbouring African countries and had to travel back to their homeland to show their skill to the SquashZambia selectors.

After 3 events, the squad was named NDLOVU, SIMBULE, MUSEFWE, KAFWIMBI. This selection has guaranteed a place in the Zambian All Africa Team, but the Commonwealth Games will be the cherry on top!
