LAHORE: In a groundbreaking moment for Pakistan squash, three sisters — Mehwish Ali, Sehresh Ali, and Mahnoor Ali — have been selected to represent the country at the Asian Games, marking the first time in history that three biological sisters will compete together for Pakistan at this level.

Mehwish Ali expressed immense pride in wearing the national colours at a premier multi-sport event, acknowledging the intensity of international competition and pledging to deliver a performance worthy of Pakistan’s legacy.

Sehresh Ali highlighted the unique advantage of training together as a family unit, explaining that their conditioning and match-readiness were built through a specially structured regimen designed to meet the demands of a senior continental tournament.

Mahnoor Ali noted that the Asian Games will provide invaluable exposure against top-ranked international players, describing the opportunity as a crucial stepping stone for their future careers.
