ISLAMABAD: The Professional Squash Association (PSA) on Thursday lifted a ban imposed on Pakistan from hosting international events, confirming that two PSA World Tours would be played in the country in December. The ban was imposed in February this year; the PSA cited security concerns as the reason for its implementation. “The decision to impose the ban on Pakistan was made after extensive consultation with sports risk management departments in relation to security concerns but the PSA is now satisfied that there are no immediate security concerns in Pakistan,” reads the PSA press release. In December, Pakistan will host a men’s tournament and a women’s event in Islamabad. Published in Daily Times, September 1st 2017.
