The Manchester Open, beginning on September 16, is set to be the first PSA event held since the PSA World Tour was suspended in March.

However, it is worth noting that Greater Manchester is currently subject t a local lockdown.

Cairo is then due to stage the PSA World Tour Finals, to be contested by the current top eight players on the Road to Egypt standings, from September 28 to October 3.

Further events in the Egyptian capital, Qatar and Hong Kong have been planned by the PSA before the end of the year.

All tournaments will be held behind closed doors because of the COVID-19 crisis.

The PSA said its world rankings will be unfrozen from October 1 using a new system, which the organisation said will help ensure that no player rankings are affected during the restart of the World Tour.

"After working closely with tournament promoters and players and playing close attention to health and safety guidelines put in place by Government health authorities, we are delighted to finally be in a position to map out our plans to restart the PSA Tour," PSA chief executive Alex Gough said.

"During the suspension of the PSA Tour, we have been in regular contact with tournament promoters to ensure that we are able to reschedule as many of the tournaments that were unable to take place earlier this year as possible, and we are pleased to have been able to salvage a number of major tournaments.

"As always, health and safety has been of the utmost importance in any plans to restart the tour and we will collaborate closely with all tournament promoters to ensure that our events will conform to strict guidelines and mitigate the risks involved so that all players and staff can operate in a safe space."
