While talking to international website Sports Bulletin at Liaquat Baugh Sports Complex Rawalpindi during an exclusive sitting, he added that he would visit the USA and would take part in four international squash events in different four states, which would help him to increase his international ranking. “My first aim is to reach in the top hundreds players and then move ahead in the international squash circuit. I am going to the United States of America (USA) and Canada to participate in the four international squash events, “he said.
“US and Canada tours to play squash in the international circuit, as these trips will be beneficial and helpful for me to improve my game skills and move ahead in the international squash ranking. When I will play against high ranked foreign players in a different atmosphere, I will learn a lot. Once, I was at 203 in PSA ranking and I slipped down but I am now determined to make a mark in the history of Pakistan squash as well as international squash, “he added while cleaning his forehead.
To a question Hafiz-e-Quran Farhan Hashmi further said: “My elder brother Salman Hashmi supports me in all ways and means in squash. He also played squash and lives in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). I learnt game skills from him and his companion squash coach Mohammad Wasim, who is a very nice and professional coach. Whenever I go to Dubai for training, my brother also helps me financially for the international trips. A senior national squash player Emmad Freed also helps me too much, “he maintained.
A question regarding the Pakistan Squash Federation (PSF) Farhan Hashmi viewed that secretary squash Armaghan Aziz was very cooperative during the camps. “He provides all the facilities during the camps and fulfills all our requirements. I have no demand from the federation, as all the affairs are going smoothly. I am concentrating only on my game, as my brother removes all the hurdles from my way. He (Salman Bhai) provides me tremendous support, “he replied to another question.
“I am based in Rawalpindi (Jehanda Chichi) and I do practice at Liaqat Baugh Sports Complex and fitness session at Safri Club at my own expense. At Pindi, Sajjad Ahmed guides me during my three hour practice session at Jehangir Khan Squash Court. I give around six hours daily to squash and toiling hard to improve my game skills to become a world class squash player. It is my dream and that will turn into true, “optimistic pencil thin national squash guy Farhan Hashmi son of Shafqat Tenvir concluded.

WSF announces officials for Commonwealth Games 2022
Sports Bulletin Report
BIRMINGHAM:-The World Squash Federation (WSF) has announced the team of squash referees and other officials for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Two of squash’s most experienced and respected referees have been designated as Tournament Referees and will be tasked with leading officiating throughout the Games.
For the singles competition, the Tournament Referee will be Wales’ Roy Gingell, while England’s John Massarella will oversee the doubles. Both are prominent referees who are actively involved in World Squash Officiating and in developing the next generation of referees.
WSF President Zena Wooldridge said:
“Every now and again we need reminding how critical referees are to the sport. For Birmingham, we made a conscious decision to work with a smaller team of referees, which we believe will deliver a more effective solution for this and future games, whilst providing a better experience for referees and players.
“Globally, squash is entering a new era, where the role of referees is given greater prominence and more investment to drive a more diverse and high-quality future referee workforce. Birmingham 2022 is an initial stage of that journey and we congratulate those referees who are part of the team.”
Seven Commonwealth nations are represented in the officiating pool. As the home nation, England is the most represented with ten officials, many of whom have come through the Mission 2022 referee development programme, which was established in 2018 with the purpose of creating a younger and more diverse refereeing community.
Andrea Santamaria will referee her first Commonwealth Games:
Commenting on her selection, England’s Andrea Santamaria said: “It’s great to be chosen. Refereeing at the Commonwealth Games is a great privilege; I’m excited to referee at the Games for the first time and am really looking forward to being there.”
England Squash CEO Mark Williams said:
“Congratulations to all these referees. Their selection rewards their commitment over the last four years to improve their refereeing skills and application. They have achieved this despite the impact of Covid on the events programme and the limited opportunities to practice.
“There is no doubt the creation of the Mission 2022 project has led to a line-up of home referees more reflective of the next generation of referees, replacing those loyal referees who has served our sport so well over the last 30 years. Our aim is to ensure British referees feature strongly amongst the world’s best in future. We still have work to do, but the Birmingham 2022 project has been a critical catalyst on that journey and an important part of the sport’s legacy from the Games.”
Names of officials:
Nik Adriana Aida (Malaysia), Mike Campbell (England), Glen Carson (New Zealand), Mike Collins (South Africa), Steve Eccles (England), Jason Foster (England), Peter Hindmarsh (England), Phil Rea (England), Andrea Santamaria (England), Srikanth K. Seshadri (India), Ashley Smith (England), Mekhala Srivasta (India), Lucy Townley (England), Janet Udy (New Zealand) and Russell Weatherburn (Australia), with Judy Williams (England) appointed as Assistant Tournament Referee.
