The unprecedented floods in Pakistan have caused the cancellation of the established CAS International, a Professional Squash Association World Tour event which was due to take place in Islamabad in September.
"You would appreciate that the country is in deep crisis these days - all available resources in the country are being utilized to rescue the lives of people and extend all out administrative support to the affected areas," said Pakistan Squash Federation Honorary Secretary Wing Commander Irfan Asghar in correspondence with the PSA today.
"We at PSF therefore regret that, at this critical stage, we would not be able to hold CAS International Squash Championship in last week of September 2010."
In supporting the PSF's decision, PSA Tour Executive Sheila Cooksley responded: "We have all been shocked by the recent disasters taking place in your country. It is heartbreaking to see the plight of the people in the country. It is indeed a very deep crisis and our sympathies and condolences go to all those affected."
"The PSA will continue to support your efforts in your country. We do appreciate all that you do for your players to maintain their participation in the international squash arena."
PSA's SquashTV is the official live and video on-demand website of the Professional Squash Association.
