  • Nicol Gets RM1.3M Head-Start (NST 16/07/2003)
    16/07/2003 Nicol gets RM1.3m Head-start K.M. Boopathy NICOL David's aspirations of becoming the first senior world squash champion received a headstart when she secured a two-year sponsorship deal worth RM1.3 million by Mulpha International to pursue her goals. The deal is also the biggest individual sponsorship secured by a Malaysian as the quantum was higher than the three-year sponsorship of RM1 million received by Ong Beng Hee from Dunlop last year. However, Nicol will have to earn the sponsorship deal which is performance based and incentives offered if she wins tournaments and improves on her world ranking. The deal is also inclusive of Head equipment and travelling and accomodation cost during tournaments. Nicol, ranked World No 37, is delighted with the challenging arrangement and with sufficient funds already secured, she is looking forward to a successful return to the professional scene after a four-month break from squash last year. "Although it is hard to give a time frame as to when I can give a shot at the world title, but it is my ultimate goal," said Nicol in Subang yesterday. "It depends on how fast I can establish myself in the professional circuit and reduce the gap between me and the top 10 players. "I have been progressing well in tournaments over the last three months and it has been a good experience playing against the top 10 players. "It is looking good for me and if I can improve the way I did in the last three months, you will never know what I can be capable of next year.

  • Michelle Martin, a High Achiever
    Michelle Martin, a High Achiever At the height of a hot summer evening in Australia, squash legend Michelle Martin puts aside time from her hectic personal life - centred round her family and close friends - to field a stream of questions about the highlights of her stellar squash career. She is unassuming but has certainly earned her place in the squash Hall of Fame, with her titles, including three Women’s World Open titles, six British Open crowns, and an Order of Australia amongst other accolades. Michelle Martin created history when she became the first female squash player to win gold medals at the inaugural squash event in the Commonwealth Games in 1998 in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. Martin is liberal in her humility, but it is sprinkled with a dry humour that sets the mood for an enlivening conversation. The Martin Family of Squashers…. The Martin family is unique as the only Australian squash playing family to produce three such acclaimed and highly internationally ranked siblings. Michelle’s parents constructed the five court Engadin Squash Centre, in Sydney which was attached to the family’s house. Having a court at home meant that the children had the opportunity to learn the sport, meet fellow squashers and practice at virtually any time of the day or night - and the children took full advantage of this. This centre would serve as the hub of activity for the Martin youngsters….. four boys and two girls, and they and their parents who would spend countless hours on or around the court. The children were not coerced into playing the game and were free to participate in other sporting activities at school.

Last December we presented our case to the IOC’s Programme Commission and this day in May we shall do so to the IOC Executive Board in St Petersburg, Russia, along with the other shortlisted sports for the place on the programme of the 2020 Olympic Games. The presentation group will be led by WSF President Ramachandran and features our two world champions Nicol David and Ramy Ashour, whose passion and charisma are sure to impress the IOC President Jacques Rogge and his fourteen IOC Board colleagues. The bid film will be shown – it features the two players and has already been viewed nearly 110,000 times, along with the video giving a snapshot of the 185 countries that play squash (you can see both at http://www.worldsquash.org/ws/?p=10564) – along with a new film, that is being finished featuring innovation, broadcast and presentation. The spoken presentations will be accompanied by over 70 great slides illustrating the points made. What happens next is not confirmed. Originally it was stated that one sport would be recommended for ratification by the full IOC membership but indications now are that a few sports may be put forward for the final vote. That will be made clear on the evening of 29th May and we must hope that we are there for the final decision in Buenos Aires on 8th September.

  • Pakhtun Identity Versus Militancy in Khyber
    Global Regional Review (GRR) URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.31703/grr.2016(I-I).01 Pakhtun Identity versus Militancy in Vol. I, No. I (2016) | Page: 1 ‒ 23 p- ISSN: 2616-955X Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA: e-ISSN: 2663-7030 Exploring the Gap between Culture of L-ISSN: 2616-955X Peace and Militancy DOI: 10.31703/grr.2016(I-I).01 Hikmat Shah Afridi* Manzoor Khan Afridi† Syed Umair Jalal‡ Abstract The Pakhtun culture had been flourishing between 484 - 425 BC, in the era of Herodotus and Alexander the Great. Herodotus, the Greek historian, for the first time, used the word Pactyans, for people who were living in parts of Persian Satrapy, Arachosia between 1000 - 1 BC. The hymns’ collection from an ancient Indian Sanskrit Ved used the word Pakthas for a tribe, who were inhabitants of eastern parts of Afghanistan. Presently, the terms Afghan and Pakhtun were synonyms till the Durand Line divided Afghanistan and Pakhtuns living in Pakistan. For these people the code of conduct remained Pakhtunwali; it is the pre-Islamic way of life and honour code based upon peace and tranquillity. It presents an ethnic self-portrait which defines the Pakhtuns as an ethnic group having not only a distinct culture, history and language but also a behaviour. Key Words: Pakhtun, Militancy, Culture, Pakhtunwali, Identity Introduction Pakhtuns are trusted to act honourably, therefore Pakhtunwali qualifies as honour code “Doing Pashto” that signifies their deep love for the societal solidarity. Wrong doings are effectively checked through their inner voices, “Am I not a Pakhtun?” In addition, the cultural platforms have been used for highlighting social evils and creating harmony in the society.

  • Squash Program
    Youth Squash Program What is Squash? According to an article published in Men’s Fitness Magazine: You'll need a racquet, an opponent, a ball, and an enclosed court—most colleges and large gyms have them. Alternate hitting the ball off the front wall until someone loses the point. This happens when you allow the ball to bounce twice, or when you whack it out of bounds—below the 19-inch strip of metal (the "tin") along the bottom of the front wall, or above the red line around the top of the court. First one to 11 points wins the game; best of three or five wins the match. It may sound simple, but Squash is a challenging and rewarding game.
