"This was supposed to be the final round for Hamad in the European Talent Cup but he would continue in the Asian Talent Cup. While the rounds of the European Talent Cup in Thailand, Malaysia and Japan have been cancelled due to the coronavirus situation, Hamad will take part in the Valencia round in Spain in September."
