Lwamba Chileshe made his PSA World Tour debut in 2018 and after joining #teamunsquashable the following year quickly claimed four PSA titles in his native New Zealand and further two titles in 2020 despite the PSA World Tour being suspended for six-months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Two further titles were added in 2021, the PSA Northland Squash Open and PSA Morrinsville Squash Open, which saw the Kiwi enter the World’s top 100 for the first time.

Following an extended period in Europe, Lwamba Chileshe returned to New Zealand to claim four further PSA World Tour as well as being runner-up to Paul Coll in the 2022 New Zealand National Championships.

Lwamba Chileshe made his senior New Zealand debut at the 2019 World Squash Federation (WSF) Men’s World Team Championships in the USA and has subsequently represented New Zealand, alongside his brother Temwa, at the 2022 World Squash Doubles Championships and 2022 Commonwealth Games.

In June 2023, Lwamba reached the final of the PSA Harcourts KDRE Morrinsville Squash Open in New Zealand, were he was denied successfully defending his PSA World Tour title by Dutch No.1 Rowan Damming, followed by reaching the final of New Zealand Championships at the Devoy Squash and Fitness Centre in Tauranga.

Lwamba and brother Temwa ensured it was an all-UNSQUASHABLE men’s final at the 2024 New Zealand National Squash Championships staged at the Devoy Squash and Fitness Centre in Tauranga in July 2024, with the top seeded Lwamba eventually triumphing 17-15 11-7 11-8 to claim his maiden national title.
