Pakistan will be represented by Noor Zaman and Ashab Irfan at the Nash Cup 2025, which begins on September 23 at the London Squash & Fitness in Ontario, Canada. Both players arrive in strong form and carry national hopes into the PSA World Tour Copper event.
National coach Farhan Zaman, regarded among Asia’s top coaches, expressed optimism about the young duo after their recent successes. Noor Zaman returns off a World Under-23 championship win, while Ashab Irfan has momentum from his Johns Creek Open triumph, results that have raised expectations ahead of the tournament.
The Nash Cup offers a total purse of $28,750 and runs from September 23 to 27. The draw features 24 players in the men’s and women’s fields, and the Pakistan pairing will face stiff opposition as they seek to make deep runs. Notable second round matchups include Noor Zaman against Jeremias Azana of Argentina and Ashab Irfan against Sanjay Jeeva of Malaysia.
Farhan Zaman singled out Noor Zaman, Ashab Irfan and Hamza Khan as the next generation of Pakistani squash, and fans at home are watching closely. With the Nash Cup providing international exposure and competitive matches, Pakistan’s young players have a chance to build on recent successes and push the country to new heights in the sport.
