Islamabad: Pakistan’s rising squash star Mehwish Ali has successfully participated in the trials for the 35th Asian Squash Championship at the Pakistan Squash Federation, Islamabad, marking an inspiring comeback after a serious health setback earlier this year.
Last month, Mehwish suffered a severe medical emergency during the semi-final of the WSF Czech Junior Open 2026, where she collapsed mid-match while in a dominant position.
She was immediately shifted to the ICU, having remained unconscious for nearly seven hours due to cardiac stress caused by a lack of oxygen.
Her full recovery has brought immense relief to the Pakistani squash community.
Mehwish is now back in training alongside her sisters and has completed the Asian Championship trials.
Expressing her gratitude, Mehwish said the trials were not only a competition but an opportunity to grow as a player and proudly represent Pakistan at the continental level.
For those unaware, the Ali sisters—Mehwish, Sehrish, and Mahnoor Ali—are rising squash stars from Peshawar, Pakistan, who have recently achieved significant success on the international junior circuit.
