For the first time, there will also be an Under-21 side-tournament held in Australia, with current number one ranked junior Ploychompoo Laokiatphong due to head a five-player field that also includes 14-year-old Meldrum, who Laokiatphong defeated in the final of last season’s World Under-21 Championship in Sheffield.
