World Junior Squash 2020 cancelled

ISLAMABAD: The 2020 WSF Junior World Championships, which should have been taken place on the Australian Gold Coast from 19th to 24th July (individual) and July 25th to 30th (teams), have been cancelled - not by the World Squash Federation but from the host Squash Australia.

“I would like to inform you that the WSF Junior World Championship 2020, which was due to take place on the Australian Gold Coast in July, was unfortunately cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.”

“The pandemic is an event beyond everyone’s control and I thank you all for your current support.”

It was only a matter of time before it happened after Australian authorities imposed a shutdown on sports facilities that stretched beyond the event’s dates, and countries such as Malaysia started pulling out.
