CHENGDU, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 8th Aug, 2025) Pakistan’s squash campaign at the World Games 2025 began in a spectacular fashion on Friday as rising star Noor Zaman dismantled China’s Chen Haisong in straight games (11-2, 11-2, 11-0) in the Round of 32, sending a strong message to his rivals.

The 21-year-old phenom displayed ruthless precision, overpowering his opponent with a mix of blistering attacks and flawless court coverage.

"This is just the start; we’re aiming for something big here," he added.
