Egypt will be represented by Mohamed Elshorbagy, Ramy Ashour, Omar Mosaad and Tarek Momen in the 2015 Men's World Team Squash Championships.

Egypt will host the World Championships that will take place between 12 and 19 December, instead of Kuwait.

Kuwait was suspended from hosting the international event by the International Olympic Committee due to government interference in the local games committee.

Egypt hosted the tournament twice before in 1985 and 1999.

Egypt's team will include world number one Mohamed Elshorbagy, world number four Ramy Ashour, world number six Omar Mosaad and world number eight Tarek Momen, according to the official website of the Professional Squash Association.

Reigning champions England have selected a strong line-up headed by three-time World Champion Nick Matthew as well as Daryl Selby, Chris Simpson and James Willstrop.

France, who are also heavyweights in sport, called up newly-crowned World Champion Gregory Gaultier, Gregoire Marche, Lucas Serme and World No.8 Mathieu Castagnet into their ranks.
