EGYPT IN SQUASH CHAMPS FINAL

EGYPT and Wales will clash in the final of the squash World Team Championship, in Cairo after beating Australia and England in their respective semi-finals on Tuesday. Although the result was in defiance of seedings, Egypt’s 3-0 win over Australia was no great shock. But Wales, who finished 12th in this biennial event last time, rose to great heights to beat the holders, England, 2-1. Neither country has previously figured in the final of the 32-year-old competition.
