This is Pakistan’s first World Junior Squash title in nearly four decades.
Jansher Khan was the last Pakistani squash player to win the title 37 years ago in 1986.
In 1982 Sohail Qaisar from Pakistan won World Juniors beating Australian Chris Dittmar. Then in 1986, Jansher Khan won the same title for Pakistan beating Australian Rodney Eyles and now in 2023, Hamza Khan has made history. Hamza Khan’s feet add more to the glory of the country’s rich history of Squash.
"They support me, every single time" 🙏
