After a successful career spanning 20 years, including being ranked world number one for a record total of 112 months, the 36-year-old hung up her racket earlier this year.
However, she is clearly not done with the squash scene yet, following an announcement of the event held with the support of the National Sports Council (MSN) and the Squash Rackets Association of Malaysia (SRAM).
Taking place at the Nicol David Arena, National Squash Complex Bukit Jalil on December 19 and 20, the squash event will see her take to the court against Malaysian junior players.
It will also feature Malaysia's current number one Low Wee Wern, world number eight Sarah-Jane Perry, up-and-coming player Tinne Gilis, and 2019 Pan American Games bronze medallist Hollie Naughton in a mini tournament, and a meet and greet session with David for 50 lucky Astro subscribers.
Here's your chance to meet Datuk Nicol David, Queen of Squash. Interested?
