Egyptian seeded first in local squash event
International players to take part in CAS championship in Oct
KARACHI:
Egypt’s Omar Abdel Meguid will be the top seed for the upcoming Chief of Air Staff (CAS) $25,000 International Squash Championship in Islamabad as international players return to participate in Pakistan’s Professional Squash Association (PSA) tournaments.
The Pakistan Squash Federation (PSF) has been making tireless efforts to ensure that foreign players participate in Pakistan in order to obtain higher prize money tournaments than the usual $10,000 ones.
Pakistan’s Nasir Iqbal is seeded second, followed by Farhan Zaman and Danish Atlas as third and fourth-seeded players respectively.
Defending champion Aamir Atlas Khan is the eighth seed and will be looking for a successful defence of the title which he won back in 2008 against Farhan Mehboob, who is unseeded this time around.
The pre-qualifying round of the tournament will begin from October 16, followed by the qualifying round on October 18-19 and the main round from October 20 to 23.
