NAGOYA, Oct 2 — Malaysia’s men’s squash team clinched the country’s ninth gold medal at the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games after defeating Pakistan 2-0 in the final at the Nagoya Kinjo Futo Arena earlier today.
The victory saw Malaysia reclaim the men’s team gold, having last won it at the 2018 edition in Jakarta-Palembang, Indonesia. At the 2022 edition in Hangzhou, the national squad could only manage bronze.
It was a double gold for the national squash camp today, as the women’s squad also defended their title with a 2-1 win over Hong Kong, bringing squash’s contribution to the national contingent at this edition to four gold medals.
In the final earlier, C. Ameeshenraj delivered Malaysia’s first point, recovering from a first-set loss to defeat Nasir Iqbal 8-11, 11-3, 11-6, 11-4.
