ISLAMABAD, Nov 13: The Annual General Meeting of the Pakistan Squash Federation (PSF) due to take place in Rawalpindi on Nov 20 is likely to name Rehmat Khan as the national coach.

The national and international calendar of activity for the year 2003 will also be approved in the meeting.

Also to come up for discussion will be the affairs of Balochistan Squash Association and the next year’s Pakistan Open.

A brief by Jahangir Khan, elected president of the World Squash Federation (WSF) last month, is another item on the agenda.
