Less than two weeks before the men's World Squash Championships are due to take place, defending champions England have announced that they are pulling out of the competition in Egypt, due to security concerns.

France, Germany, Finland, Canada and the USA, have also all refused to travel to Cairo.

Keir Worth is the Chief Executive of England Squash and he told the Â鶹Éç's Ade Adedoyin that it was a tough call to make.
