Pakistan’s squash revival has been driven by national coach Farhan Zaman, whose modern coaching methods and leadership have produced a string of international successes and earned him regional recognition. Under his guidance, Pakistani players have won major junior and senior titles, and Zaman was recently named Best Coach of the Year by the Asian Squash Federation.
A former international player, Zaman took over as Pakistan’s national coach and quickly established a results-oriented program. Over the past three years his players have claimed prestigious 
trophies, including titles at the World Junior, Asian Junior, senior-level competitions and the Under-23 World Championship. These victories reflect both individual talent and the effectiveness of the coaching system he has put in place.
The Asian Squash Federation’s Best Coach of the Year award recognizes Zaman’s role in those achievements and highlights his standing in the regional squash community. The accolade acknowledges not only match results but also his contribution to player development and competitive preparation.
As Pakistan’s youngest national coach, Zaman has introduced a contemporary approach to training, emphasizing adaptability and an understanding of the evolving demands of international squash. Coaches and players credit his methods with improving technical skills, tactical awareness and players’ confidence on the world stage.
The broader Pakistani squash community has greeted these developments with optimism. Zaman’s leadership is viewed as central to efforts to restore Pakistan’s historic standing in the sport, and his trainees are expected to continue competing strongly at international events.
