KARACHI: Farhan Mehboob leaped three places up and has now become the top ranked Pakistani player in the Professional Squash Association (PSA) international rankings.

With three places up in international rankings, Farhan has moved ahead of Aamir Atlas Khan who was previously the top ranked Pakistani player in international rankings until last month.

Farhan has attained 28th place in this month’s rankings, while Aamir is static at 29th place. However, the upward movement of Farhan is not due to his good performance during the last month.

“Few of my points were not counted due to the fact that I hadn’t played enough matches to make average ranking points. So now my rankings points have been added, which helped improve my ranking,” Farhan Mehboob told PPI.

Meanwhile, Danish Atlas has bettered his rankings by two places and he now occupies 87th spot. Lahore based Yasir Butt leapfrogged 40 places to occupy 93rd place.

The former World No 40 has won PSA recognized tournaments at home, which helped him find a place among elite top-100 players of the world.
