JAKARTA (JP): The Indonesian Squash Association (PSI) plans to
have a tryout in Malaysia in the second week of June as
preparation for the Kuala Lumpur Southeast Asian (SEA) Games from
Sept. 8 to Sept. 17.

"We want to learn from Malaysian players because they are the
strongest in the region," coach Bambang Gatot Subroto said as
quoted by Antara on Tuesday.

Squash will feature mens' and womens' teams and men's and
women's individual events.

Bambang said the players would compete in local tournaments in
Malaysia and would stay there until the Games start.

Eight male and five female athletes have been groomed in the
training center. Only four male and four female athletes will
join the core squad for the biennial event. (yan)
