In this regard a meeting was held at TEVTA Secretariat here on Friday in which squash legend Jansher Khan, Chairperson Irfan Qaiser Sheikh, Squash Coach Farooq Butt participated. While speaking on occasion, Jansher Khan observed that Pakistani youth has talent as equal to the youth of developed countries but they lack resources and training facilities. I will provide consultancy to TEVTA for training their students, he added. Jan Sher Khan further said that youth of Punjab will be able to get training for Squash as per international standards.
Irfan Qaiser Sheikh said that Jansher Khan is our national hero and his consultancy will be an honor for TEVTA.

We appeal to Sports Board to provide Squash Courts to TEVTA and renovate them as per requirement, Irfan Qaiser said. He said that more than 200 students of TEVTA will get training in these courts under the supervision of Jansher Khan.
