Sohail Adnan Clinches Historic U-13 British Junior Open Squash Title
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's rising squash star, Sohail Adnan, made history on Monday by defeating Egypt's Moez Tamer Elmoghazy in a thrilling Under-13 final at the British Junior Open Squash Championship in Birmingham.
In an exhilarating match at the University of Birmingham’s glass court, Sohail staged a remarkable comeback to secure a hard-fought 11-5, 5-11, 6-11, 11-7, 11-5 victory, showcasing both his skill and mental resilience.
This triumph not only marks a major milestone in Sohail's career but also ends an 18-year drought for Pakistan in the prestigious competition. The last Pakistani to win the coveted British Junior Open title was Nasir Iqbal in 2007.
