(CNN) -- Squash, the bridesmaid of racquet sports, will hope to finally recognize its Olympic dream after winning a place on the shortlist of candidates to be included at the 2020 Games. While tennis, table tennis and badminton have long been on the Olympic agenda, squash has failed to impress the International Olympic Committee during its previous attempts, with campaigns to be included at London 2012 and Rio de Janeiro 2016 falling on deaf ears. But Wednesday's announcement by the IOC means it, along with wrestling and the combined baseball/softball bid, will have the chance of securing the one final place in September's vote.

"Hopefully that showed what competing in the @placeholder means to me.
We would be easy and low cost to integrate into the @placeholder with just 64 athletes, two competition courts that can be built in days and we have a great track record of being hosted in iconic locations.
The IOC uses 39 criteria to decide which sports make it through to the @placeholder, with categories such as popularity, good governance and respect for the Olympic values all taken into consideration.
