England announce squash team for Commonwealth Games

World's number one Squash player Nick Matthew will be seen in action at the Commonwealth Games this year after he was included in the English squad for the October 3-14 mega event.

Matthew and women's world number two Jenny Duncalf will head England's challenge. Sheffield-based Matthew, the captain, will be joined in the men's squad by fellow Yorkshireman James Willstrop (world No. 6), Londoners Peter Barker (world No. 8) and Adrian Grant (world No. 13) and (world No. 9) Daryl Selby from Essex.

Tania Bailey will captain the England women's squad. The former world No. 4 from Stamford in Lincolnshire will be joined by Duncalf, from Harrogate, Alison Waters (world No. 4) from London, Laura Massaro (world No. 8) from Preston in Lancashire, and Sarah Kippax (world No. 22) from Cheshire.

Duncalf, from Harrogate, said, "The Commonwealth Games are massive for us. They're our Olympics. I've looked forward to it for four years since playing at the last Commonwealth Games. It's right at the top of my list now and I'm really excited about it."

Matthew, Willstrop, Grant, Duncalf, Waters and Bailey all featured in England's team at the Melbourne Games four years ago.

Englishman Nick, 29, who will be making his second appearance at a Commonwealth Games after just missing out on the medals in Melbourne four years ago, has vowed that he will settle for nothing but the gold this time.

"In Melbourne, I won bronze medal. This time, I'm going there to win gold. The field in Delhi will be incredibly strong. Our preparations have been meticulous, but you can't get ahead of yourself and we've got to make sure we do the simple things right," Matthew said.
