ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Squash Federation (PSF) said Wednesday the World Squash Federation (WSF) has assured it of an opportunity to host an event worth $50,000 next year.

Talking to APP, PSF Vice President Qamar Zaman said the WSF Chief Executive Officer Andrew Shelley has assured Pakistan that it will be provided with maximum PSA events.

"Andrew was present in Poland where Pakistan clinched the 2016 World Team Junior Squash Championships title and there he committed that a $50,000 PSA event will be given to us next year," said the PSF vice president.

He said that Egyptian and Malaysian players, too, have shown eagerness to play a bilateral Test Series with the Pakistani players.
