“I am delighted to be the top Pakistani squash player. However, my aim is not only to become top Pakistani player but I am also looking forward to perform well in upcoming international assignments to better my international rankings as well,” the left-handed squash player, Farhan told PPI.

He said that his cousin Aamir Atlas Khan, who is ranked 29th in international rankings, is the first seed, as the seedings of the tournament were announced before the change in the rankings.
