After a disappointing performance by Aamir Atlas Khan in the US, Pakistan’s Danish Atlas Khan and Farhan Zaman were knocked out in round one of the Goodlife Open being played in Ottawa, Canada.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan Squash Federation (PSF) was still calm even after the players’ disappointing results. “Both Danish and Zaman had worked hard in training and they will do well once they get into the rhythm of playing against top players,” a PSF official told The Express Tribune. | | See Also in Sports News
