KARACHI: Pakistan’s top squash players Tayyab Aslam and Asim Khan have achieved their career best international rankings.

According to the latest rankings by Professional Squash Association, Tayyab is ranked 43rd and Asim 69th.

He broke into the top 50 in the World Rankings for the first time in his career in the summer of 2019.

Asim turned pro in 2013 and since then he has played 150 matches and won 79 matches including four titles.

It is pertinent to mention here that both the players belong to Lahore.

Ammad Fareed is another player from Lahore who is also sitting on his career best ranking of 107th he achieved last October.
