Squash: Farhan to miss World Championship

KARACHI: Farhan Mehboob missed out on the opportunity to play at the PSA World Championships in Qatar starting from December 7 after failing to get promoted from the reserves to the main round.

Farhan was in the reserve-7 category when he sent his entry. His only chance to play was through a withdrawal of another player which did not happen. “My visa and ticket was ready but I couldn’t get the promotion because of my poor ranking,” Farhan, who is currently ranked 154, told The Express Tribune.

Pakistan number one Aamir Atlas is the country’s only representative at the mega event and will play his first match tomorrow.
