Former world number one Jansher Khan on Thursday vowed to reverse Pakistan's flagging squash fortunes after he was appointed advisor to the Pakistan Squash Federation (PSF) President on Thursday.
“Pakistan has immense talent for squash. Skill-wise our players are unparalleled but their physical fitness levels are yet to touch the international standard,†Jansher, who won the World Open a record eight times and the British Open six times, said.
He said in his meeting with the PSF president, he had discussed a plan to initiate recovery and uplift the standard of squash in the country.
“It involves good organisation and discipline,†he said, adding that much more efforts were needed for resurgence on international level.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

These are true heroes of their country, Jansher and Jahangir Khan are notably the legends owing to who the sport is alive in Pakistan at the first place. It is really important to highlight the importance of different sports and organizer institutions that train and support young players willing to enter the arena of squash or any other sport.
The only sport Pakistan seems to know today is Cricket and that too seems to be in deep waters time and again. Youngsters should be encourages to play sports and represent their country internationally in diverse fields opening way for future generations to know more about sports beyond mere Cricket!
