Squash is the only individual sport in which Pakistan has made her presence felt at the international level. Ever since her debut in 1950, Pakistan has remained among the top squash playing countries of the world.

He went on to found a dynasty which dominated the squash world for nearly three decades. The names of such great maestros as brother Azam Khan, cousin Roshan Khan, son Sharif Khan, nephew Mohibullah, Qamar Zaman, Jahangir Khan (son of Roshan Khan) and Jansher Khan, have adorned the Squash firmament during the last thirty-odd years.
