Jahangir Khan reflected on his career and Pakistan’s next generation in an interview published by the PSA Squash Tour. The ten-time British Open champion described the influence of family coaching, disciplined preparation and the leading Pakistani players he watched while growing up in Karachi.

Khan discussed his rivalry with Jansher Khan and the different playing styles that sustained their dominance. His own record included six world titles and a sequence of 555 consecutive victories, achievements he linked to commitment rather than an early expectation of making history.

Turning to current players, he identified administration and professional habits as areas needing improvement. He welcomed junior and Under 23 success while encouraging players to develop the consistency required for the senior tour.
