Players Need To Be Provided Employment: Jansher

ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th May, 2018 ) :Former World No1 Jansher Khan Sunday said the game of squash cannot prosper until and unless concrete steps are taken to solve players' financial issues by providing them with employment.

Talking to APP, Jansher, who during his career won the World Open a record eight times, and the British Open six times, said currently the biggest hindrance in between players and the game is unemployment which if not solved as soon as possible would lead to downfall of the game.

"No game can prosper without the help of government and sponsors," he said. He said players are ambassadors of peace and assets of the country who need encouragement. "Like in cricket the private sponsors must also support other games in order to promote them," he said.
