Jansher Khan inducted into PSA Hall of Fame

Squash great Jansher Khan has been inducted into the Professional Squash Association (PSA) Hall of Fame.

Jansher Khan, a former world champion, was inducted into the HOF during a special induction evening at the Hong Kong Football Club on Sunday.

Malaysian female player Nicol David was honoured as the newest member of the PSA Hall of Fame.

Jansher and Nicol are the third and fourth players, respectively, to have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Noticeably, the only two male players inducted into the Hall of Fame are from Pakistan. The first and second inductees are Jahangir Khan and New Zealand’s Susan Devoy.

Jansher won a record eight World Open titles and six British Open titles.

He played the most 118 finals in the professional career while winning a record 99 titles. He also has the honour of being world number one for 97 months throughout his career.

“So Hong Kong is really, for me, it is the best place. And I’m very happy to come to Hong Kong [and] see my old friends. It’s an honour to get this award,” he said.
