Egypt won its third Women's World Team Squash Championship title after beating England 2-1 in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France on Saturday.

England took the lead when Laura Massaro beat Egypt's star Nour El Sherbini 3-1, but the Pharaohs recovered to clinch the prestigious title.

Nouran Gohar defeated Alison Waters by a 3-0 win and Raneem El Welily overcame Sarah-Jane Perry with the same score as Egypt won the best-of-three singles matches contest.

Egypt also won the same women's title in 2008 and 2012.

Egypt's charge d'affaires Hisham Al Maqoud attended the final game and congratulated the Egyptian team on the world title.
