PESHAWAR - International squash player Nasir Iqbal will represent Pakistan in the forthcoming Houston Open in Texas, United States of America to be commencing from January 4 to 9, 2022.

He reached a career-high world ranking of World No. 35 in February 2016. Talking to media before leaving for the USA on Saturday, Nasir said that he would continue his hard work to win the Houston Open in Texas. “I am fully prepared for this event,” said Nasir, who showed amazing performance in the Asian Championship held in Islamabad and defeated World No. 22 Abdullah Al-Tamimi and World No. 51 Henry in the second round and quarterfinal match respectively. Nasir will be the only player to represent Pakistan at the Houston Squash Open. He said he was out of the competition for four years due to doping but now he will enter the field in the world squash competitions with a new spirit and would continue his hard work to win back his lost ranking in the world of squash.
