European squash champion Victor Crouin believes the visibility of his sport will get a huge boost after it makes its Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games.

The Energypac Victory Day Squash Tournament got underway at Navy and Gulshan Club squash courts on Sunday with a total of 12 teams vying for the title.
