PETALING JAYA: The delayed Women’s World Squash Championship will not be an extravagant affair as it has been put together at such a short notice.

The women’s world meet was initially scheduled to be held from Dec 11-17 last year. But it was scrapped at the eleventh hour after the previous promoters – Hallmark Events Group – failed to raise sufficient funds. The promoters had also cited security concerns for their decision.
