30/06/2008 - The world of Pakistan squash seems to have been entirely built on sand. |
by Khalid Hussain
From the coaching of the players, to the so-called national junior development programme, you will hardly find anything concrete in the very structure of the game in a country that once fuelled world squash with an unlimited supply of champions.
The biggest tragedy for our squash is that the people at the helm of the game at the national level are unwilling to admit that Pakistan squash is currently experiencing its darkest phase.
The Pakistan Squash Federation (PSF) officials may like to think otherwise, but the bitter truth is that a sport which brought a nascent state on the map of international sport more than five decades back, is now in a shambles.
It's a sad scenario but to bring any improvement in it, you will have to first accept it that that's the way things stand for Pakistan squash at the moment.
Less than ten years after the exit of Jansher Khan -- the last of the country's great champions -- squash has moved perilously close to attaining the status of being a 'dead sport' in Pakistan.
