India sent Venezuela crashing out of the WSF Men's World Team Squash Championship to set up an exciting pre-quarterfinal clash against Hong Kong in Mulhouse, France. After upsetting strong contenders Argentina and Finland on consecutive days, India clinched pole position in Pool 'H' after despatching 25th seed Venezuela 3-0 in the final qualifying round of the biennial World Squash Federation event. Eighth seed India had come into the contest as overwhelming favourites and they lived up to their billing, virtually toying with the inexperienced Venezuelan attack.
