Pakistan Withdraws Players From US Junior Squash After Age Verification Not Accepted: Report
US Open Junior Squash Championship: Faced with doubts over the age of its players in an age-group event, Pakistan was forced to withdraw its players from the US Open Junior Squash Championship after the organisers refused to accept its age verification process, a news report said on Monday.
Around 977 players representing forty-five nations are competing in the 2025 U.S. Junior Open–the world’s largest individual squash tournament, but Pakistan withdrew its players after the US Open organisers did not accept their age verification, Telecom Asia Sport (www.telecomasia.net) has quoted sources as telling it.
"To protect the integrity of the competition while allowing participation, the US Squash implemented a newly adopted policy. Where reasonable concern existed, affected players were permitted to compete only in the age group in which they are ranked domestically and/or most recently competed at their National Championships," organisers told Telecomasia.net.
