PETALING JAYA: This is going to be a great year for squash, especially with the Women’s World Championships being hosted locally for the first time since 2004.

The announcement that Penang would play host was made on Sunday and it was welcomed by world No. 1 Nicol David who hopes that the meet would inspire more youths to take up squash.
