KOLKATA:
Saurav Ghosal held his nerves to overcome second seed
Zahed Salem
of Egypt in a tense five-game final to retain his crown in the Kolkata International invitational squash meet on Sunday.
Locked 2-2, Ghosal showed his class in the decisive game to seal the issue 11-5, 8-11, 11-8, 11-13, 11-5 in a 86-minute contest.
"It was quite a nervy affair. There were some questionable calls. For that I got a bit rattled," Ghosal said criticising the standard of refereeing.
"The entire ecosystem has to change. We need to educate everyone as the youngsters are watching these games," Ghosal, who will compete in a tournament in
Hong Kong
next week, said.
After Hong Kong meet he will play another event in Egypt from December 3-9 but the 12-time champion will skip the
National Championship
next month.
