The team travel with Director of Squash Patrick Foster and new BSRA Touring Pro and current World #184 Micah Franklin. National Champion Franklin was upbeat about the teams chances and commented
“We have a young talented team that have trained really hard over the past few months. I expect all of them to perform well but we are well aware of the standard of our opposition and the size of the task ahead.
:We have some players earning their first International caps who will definitely be feeling the pressure but we also have some seasoned travelers who know what expected and so we will be calling on them to deliver big performances. I’m excited to support the kids and cheer Bermuda on as always”
The Championships will run July 16-24 with full coverage available at the official event website.
