Asim Khan, Pakistan's top squash player, has set his sights on winning a medal at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.
This ambitious goal is a testament to Khan's dedication and perseverance in a sport where Pakistan has a rich and storied history. With legendary players like Jahangir Khan and Jansher Khan dominating the sport in the 1980s and 1990s, Pakistan has a strong squash legacy to uphold.
Despite his determination, Khan acknowledges the significant challenges faced by squash players in Pakistan. Rising air fares and a lack of sponsors make it difficult for players to participate in international tournaments, essential for gaining experience and improving rankings.
