KUALA LUMPUR: The Covid-19 outbreak has been a bane for athletes everywhere, throwing the sports calendar into chaos. However, the postponement of the squash Asian Junior Championships could turn out to be a blessing, at least for Danial Nurhaqiem Sharul Nizam.

The Asian meet had been scheduled for June 29-July 3 in Qingdao, China, but has been called off due to the continued spread of the disease in the country.
