A home Games will be special for our athletes, says Nicol


PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s squash legend Datuk Nicol David believes that national athletes will have a great opportunity to showcase their potential if the 2026 Commonwealth Games host job is taken up by Malaysia.

“It’s time to create a new champion and find new opportunities for our country. Playing overseas or in our country are the same but we will get much more support from Malaysians, that’s why we want to play for our country,” said Nicol, drawing on her previous experience playing in the 1998 Commonwealth Games held in Kuala Lumpur.
