\nBirmingham
\nPakistani squash player Muhammad Hamza Khan on Monday clinched the Under-15 category title of the British Junior Open 2020 by defeating England\u2019s Yusuf Sheikh in the final in Birmingham.
\nHamza bagged the title in a one-sided final that went 11-4, 11-3, 11-7 in his favour and lasted a mere 16 minutes.
\nThe squash starlet from Peshawar had defeated Yassin Shohdy of Egypt in the semi-final on Sunday.
\nBy beating Sheikh today, Hamza avenged the defeat of compatriot Muhammad Ammad, who had lost out to the England player in the other semi-final.
\n\u201cI am very happy that I have become the British champion of the Under-15 category. I played many tough matches but I won them all,\u201d Hamza said after his victory.
\n\u201cI will compete in and try to win the Under-17 championship as well [next time],\u201d he added.
\nThe past few years have brought a number of trophies and medals for Hamza. Since 2017, he has claimed nine gold medals, including two Asian Junior Championship Gold medals.
\nHamza is the fifth Pakistani to win the British Junion Open U-15 title and the first to do it in the last seven years. Before him, Israr Ahmed had accomplished the feat in 2012.
\nOther Pakistanis to win U15 titles include Shoaib Hasan (20050, Aamir Atlas Khan (2004) and Farhan Mehboob (2002).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
