Pakistan’s rising squash star Ashab Irfan has added another accolade to his career by winning the Jones Creek Open squash tournament in the United States. The event carried prize money of $12,000 and attracted several international players.
In the final, Ashab displayed resilience and determination after losing the opening game to Malaysia’s Nathan Kewe. The Pakistani player quickly bounced back to dominate the match, winning three consecutive games to seal victory with a 3-1 scoreline.
The final lasted 40 minutes, with Ashab losing the first game 8-11 but making a strong comeback to claim the next three games 11-2, 11-2, and 11-6. His aggressive play and consistent strokes overwhelmed Kewe, ensuring a convincing win.
This triumph marks Ashab Irfan’s third PSA (Professional Squash Association) title of the year, underlining his growing prominence on the international squash circuit.
His consistent performance is seen as a promising sign for Pakistan, a country with a rich squash legacy that once produced world champions like Jahangir Khan and Jansher Khan.
Sports analysts believe Ashab’s recent victories will inspire young squash players in Pakistan, especially at a time when the country is striving to regain its past dominance in the sport.
With this latest success, Ashab Irfan has established himself as one of the most exciting talents to watch, not only for Pakistan but also on the global squash stage.
