The Japanese government has paid tribute to the squash legend of Pakistan, Jahangir Khan, by issuing commemorative stamp in his name.

Jahangir will also soon be invited to Japan where an event will be organised to celebrate his success. The squash legend is famed for winning 555 matches, which is a record yet to be broken. During his career as a professional squash player, Jahangir won the World Open six times and the British Open a record ten times.

At the age of seventeen Jahangir became the youngest winner of the World Open squash tournament in 1981.
