ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Squash Federation (PSF) accelerates preparations for four back-to-back international events to be held in the city at Mushaf Squash Complex from September to December.

Talking to APP, PSF Secretary, Group Captain Amir Nawaz, said international players will be seen in the action during the event along with top Pakistani players.

“The Professional Squash Association (PSA) had granted Pakistan four international tournaments of $25,000,” Nawaz informed.

"The tournaments are not declared open currently, but once they open the international players would be able to send their entries for participation."

Nawaz is optimistic that the PSA will grant Pakistan a $50,000 tournament in 2017.
