Give squash players ‘more exposure’

PAST PRESIDENT of the Barbados Squash Association, Monty Cumberbatch, is charging that one tournament per year is not enough for local players to increase their rankings.

He made this declaration at a recent press conference to launch this year’s Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc./Tourism Development Corporation Barbados Squash Open, which is being produced by the Professional Squash Association (PSA).

“One tournament a year is not going to move the dial to raise the rankings of our players. They would have to play in more tournaments, so what they can do is look at tournaments close by in South America, North America and the UK.

“The more tournaments they play, and the better they get, their rankings increase,” he said recently at the Barbados Olympic Association’s Wildey headquarters. (RA)
