PETALING JAYA: The upcoming Kuala Lumpur (KL) International Junior Championships will serve as a good stepping stone for young squash players to gain more experience and fare well in their sports career.

The Platinum-level tourney, considered the largest junior squash event in Asia and the second-largest globally after the US Junior Open, is scheduled to take place at three different venues – Jalan Duta Squash Courts in Kuala Lumpur, Sky Arena at Air Panas, Setapak and Astaka Squash Courts in Petaling Jaya – starting next Tuesday.
