Jansher gets offer from Holland

Published August 31, 2002

LAHORE, Aug 30: Jansher Khan has received an offer from a club in Holland to represent it in the Dutch League and to conduct a coaching clinic there.

The Squash World Club has offered free travel expenses to Jansher and also asked about his remuneration per match.

Jansher on Friday expressed his availability for four matches of the Dutch League to be held between Nov 19 to Jan 28, 2003, but did not

confirm his availability for a Oct 22 match as the date would clash with the CAS tournament which is to be held in the same month in Peshawar.

Jansher has demanded a wild card entry from the Pakistan Squash Federation (PSF) for the CAS tournament. A decision in this regard is yet to be finalised.

Jansher has demanded 4,000 dollars per match and 1500 dollars per day for coaching in the clinic.

Jansher who had announced retirement from the international circuit five years ago due to a knee injury withdrew it on Aug 10. He had plans to play in three international competitions which are scheduled to be held in Pakistan from Sept to Dec.

 The PSF did not allow Jansher a wild card entry for the next month international competition to be held in Karachi.

“I will confirm to the Dutch Club for Oct 22 tie in next 10 days after getting a final decision from the PSF about the wild card entry”, he said.

Jansher said that he had lot of opportunities to play any where in the world but he desired to start his campaign for international circuit from Pakistan.

The former World champion said that to prepare himself for these competitions and for regular medical check up of his operated knees he had decided to stay in London.
