The 18-year-old, ranked at number 139 in the world, came into the event off the back of winning the world junior title earlier this year and was not expected to make the first round of the PSA’s flagship event for men.

Having already beaten England’s Charles Sharpes, the world number 53, Eain then proved too strong for Jamaican Christopher Binnie with a 11-8, 11-9, 11-9 victory in the final round of qualification.

The success for the Malaysian youngster saw him reach the main draw of the PSA Men’s World Championship for the first time in his career.

Eain is due to face Mohamed Reda of Egypt in the first round tomorrow at the Wadi Degla Club in Cairo.

“Coming here I didn't even expect to get past the first round of qualification,” he said.

“I just wanted to come to the World Championship, learn from the experience and take in as much from the top players as possible.

“But I’ve been playing well so I’m really pleased that I’ve come through to reach the main draw.

“There’s no pressure on me, so I’m enjoying being on the court and testing myself against the top players in the world.

“The past few results have proved that I can compete with them if I do the right things so I’m excited for the next challenge.”

English pair Joshua Masters and Nathan Lake, Joel Makin of Wales, Germany’s Jens Schoor and Egyptian trio Mazen Gamal, Shehab Essam and Youssef Soliman will also make their World Championship first round debuts tomorrow.

World number one and top seed Mohamed Elshorbagy of Egypt has been drawn to face Australia’s Rex Hedrick, while second seed Gregory Gaultier of France will play New Zealand’s Paul Coll.
