The Squash Racket Federation: World Squash Federation extended its condolences on the demise of its former president and its first honorary life member Narayana Ramachandran, who passed at the age of 77 after a prolonged illness.

Ramachandran’s cremation will be held on Friday at the Beasant Nagar crematorium in Chennai.

Ramachandran served as WSF President between 2008 and 2016, the first Indian to lead an IOC-recognised international federation. He also served as president of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) between 2014 and 2017, when he immediately led the IOA to Olympic reinstatement following a 14-month IOC ban.
