Jahangir Khan wants Pakistan squash to be run by professionals



Former World Champion and President of World Squash Federation (WSF) Jahanagir Khan believed that national squash should run by the professionals to regain past glory.
“Without changing the structure of and mindset of the people at the realm of affairs of the game, nothing can be changed,” he told reporters at PN Roshan Khan/ Jahangir Khan Squash to unveil the details of Parco National Junior Squash Championship on Wednesday.
Jahangir Khan said he once offered 1-100 to loss a match. “I was dominating squash for five and half year at one time and could have easily indulged in such activities. But my conscience did not accepted it,” he recalled.

Harrow Sports Introduces the Sneak Indoor Court Shoe


The Sneak Indoor Court shoe is the newest addition to the Harrow Sports footwear line. Squash Magazine did a write up on the new Harrow sneak court shoe for their October issue - Here's what they had to say -

"Have you ever experienced that adrenaline rush when a hot car is sitting at a traffic light just dying to throw down the hammer with treads that are gushing with confidence? You know, the kind with the jet black discs of seemingly inch thick rubber wrapped around a glistening set of aluminum alloy wheels waiting to rocket from 0 - 100 mph in a blink of the eye - all the while ensuring a stickiness that will let you pull a couple of G's around the tightest corners?
"I know, I know, this isn't 'Road N' Track', but you look for the same thing for your feet on the court, right? Okay, maybe not black soled kicks since they're outlawed on the beautiful hardwoods of our squash courts, but finding a faithful, dependable, slick - looking comfy pair of shoes is a squash players dream.
"If this sounds like Nirvana for your feet, not to mention your fashion sense, then welcome to the Harrow sneak! These shoes are hot - very light, supple (as in ready to hit the courts right out of the box) snug, with a squeaky grip that is like having a sprinters starting blocks providing that little extra 'umph' as you chase down your opponent's next shot.
"What else can we say? There are squash shoes, and then there are Bugatti Veyron-like treads that you'll never want to put in the garage."
The Harrow Sneak features a breathable mesh upper, synthetic nubuck construction and amazing cushioning from heel to forefoot. A nubuck toe drag area will enhance the durability along the inside of the shoe and the added padding on the tongue and ankle surround give you increased stability and comfort with every movement.
The Harrow Sneak also has a high performance, responsive gum rubber sole for enhanced traction and flexibility on any indoor court surface.
