The one-day men and women’s qualifying rounds will be played on Dec 25 and the top eight (quarter-finalists) will join the 24 PSA ranked players in the main draw. Curtain falls on the event on December 30. Sindh has been allowed one wildcard in both men and women’s main draw. The spokesman thanked squash legend Jahangir Khan for supporting the event since its launch and persuading the PSA to get it recognised. He also thanked Sindh Squash Association (SSA) for extending their collaboration and the sponsors for their financial support. “It’s a small contribution from Sindh Rangers for the revival of the game which remained tagged with Pakistan for two decades,” he maintained. Farhan Mehboob and Samar Anjum are the defending champions in men and women’s categories respectively. Meanwhile, the courts have been refurbished and present a fascinating look. The participants will be provided free boarding and lodging in the mess of Sachal Rangers, which also houses the squash courts and other sporting facilities.
