Two Pakistani squash players won silver medals at the Qatar Junior Squash Championship, which concluded in Doha on Thursday.
Pakistan's Abdullah Zaman and Ahmed Ali Naz won silver medals after losing in the finals of the U15 and U11 categories. Meanwhile, Rayyan Zaman, Abdullah's younger brother, lost in the semi-finals of the U11 tournament.
It must be noted that Abdullah and Rayyan are sons of former player Mansoor Zaman and grandsons of legendary Qamar Zaman.
“We are delighted to share that three of our most talented players from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa boys have made it to the Qatar Junior Squash Championship held in Doha,” the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Squash Association said in a statement.
“Abdullah Zaman, the grandson of the legendary Qamar Zaman, performed exceptionally well in the Boys Under-15 age category to win the silver medal. His skills and techniques left the audience spellbound and he proved a formidable opponent for his competitors.
“Similarly, Ahmed Ali Naz showed his mettle in the Boys Under-11 age group and emerged victorious. His agility, quick reflexes and strategy on the field were impressive and he displayed great sportsmanship throughout the tournament.”
“The championship was highly competitive, with players from all over the world participating. However, our players showed their talent and proved that they are among the best in their age categories. We are proud of their excellent performance and congratulate them on their well-deserved win.”
