The revival of sports

There was a time when Pakistan was the world champion of five different games – cricket, hockey, snooker, chess and squash. The latter was the only game over which Pakistan dominated the world for decades. But the current poor situation of the game calls for immediate government intervention.

Pakistan is gifted with talented players who have the potential to become the next Jahangir Khan and Jansher Khan. It is the responsibility of the government to take adequate steps to revive the supremacy of squash. It should open academies in all major cities to train emerging players.
