Squash has the credentials to become an olympic event and our goal is to see the sport in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. We are working towards this and will keep trying even if our bid is not successful.
You cant go on winning all the time.
If you have a burning ambition and desire, absolutely anything can be achieved.
If you have the passion to do something, work hard, stay honest and nothing can stop you to accomplish it.
Squash has been my life and I owe a lot to the sport.
Pakistan should be recognised as a sporting nation and not as a terrorist country.
Without hard work and discipline it is difficult to be a top professional.
The pressure began to mount as I kept winning every time and people were anxious to see if I could be beaten.
