While it was a tough outing for Shomari Wiltshire and Ashley Khalil, Jason-Ray Khalil had an impressive start to his Commonwealth Games squash campaign in Birmingham, England, yesterday. 

At the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia, Jason-Ray Khalil was booted in the first round of the singles competition by former world-rater, Campbell Grayson, of New Zealand. 

However, this time around, Khalil showed why he’s one of the country’s top players, when he stormed from behind to defeat Paul Kadoma of Uganda 3 – 2 on opening day of individual competition for the sport at the University of Birmingham Squash Courts.
