Birmingham to host world's oldest squash tournament for first time in 22 years

The oldest and one of the most prestigious squash tournaments in the global game will return to Birmingham next year for the first time in 22 years.

The British Open will be held in April on the stage of the city's Rep theatre along with early rounds at Edgbaston Priory Club and will welcome the sport's best men's and women's players from across the world.

The tournament, whose origins date back to the 1920s, has been held in Hull since 2013 but has previously come to Birmingham on five occasions, the last of which was in 2001 at the then National Indoor Arena.
