The Professional Squash Association (PSA) on Thursday lifted a ban imposed on Pakistan from hosting international events, confirming that two PSA World Tours would be played in the country in December.

The ban was imposed in February this year; PSA cited security concerns as the reason for its implementation.

"The decision to impose the ban on Pakistan was made after extensive consultation with sports risk [management departments] in relation to security concerns but [the] PSA is now satisfied that there are no immediate security concerns [in Pakistan]," reads the PSA press release.

In December, Pakistan will host a men’s tournament and a women’s event in Islamabad.
