ISLAMABAD: Senator Salim Saifullah has assumed charge as president of International Lawn Tennis Club of Pakistan, commonly known as IC Pakistan.

“I will serve the club wholeheartedly as I have done as the president Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) for eight years. I am thankful to all those reposing trust in me,” Saifullah said. International Lawn Tennis Club-London has congratulated Senator Salim Saifullah Khan on his appointment as the president IC Pakistan. They have also extended him an invitation to attend the centenary celebrations of International Lawn Tennis Club in London, which he has accepted.

Currently, he is the Patron of the Pakistan Tennis Federation, Senior Vice President of South Asia and Board Member of the Asian Tennis Federation. He is also a member of the ITF task force on the Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup Committee.
