Two Myanmar squash players have pulled out of the Southeast Asian Games doubles competition after they were among eight people hurt in a bus crash on their way to the stadium, organisers said Monday. Aye Aye Thin and Ei Ei Pyone have withdrawn from the women's doubles and they will also be replaced in the mixed doubles, said the Games' sports and technical committee secretary, Low Beng Choo.

Nobody was seriously hurt in the crash, which police said left eight Myanmar players and a Philippines coach with minor leg injuries. Aye Aye Thin and Ei Ei Pyone are resting at their hotel, Low said in a statement. Two buses carrying players and officials were on their way to the squash competition when one was forced to brake suddenly, and the other hit it from behind.
