The second seeds Pakistan upset favourites Egypt in the final to claim a record-equalling fifth title, marking the first world team squash title won by the country since 2008.

Players were only eligible to compete in the tournament if they were aged 19 or under.

It has been claimed that Israr Ahmed and Abbas Shoukat, however, are both 20.

According to Squash Mad, the duo were apparently considered too old to compete in an under-17 event back in June 2013, which would make them a minimum of 20 now.

WSF chief executive Andrew Shelley has reportedly written to the Pakistani Federation and Asian Squash Federation to get to clarify the situation. 

“It must be accepted by the Pakistan Squash Federation that there seem to be a large number of officials who believe that some Pakistani players may have passports that do not equate to their actual age,” Shelley wrote, according to Squash Mad.

“Equally, the Pakistan Federation should have the opportunity to put the doubts to rest by proving them to be unfounded.

“The way to achieve this would be for ASF to consider insisting that all entries from Pakistan for the Asian Junior Championships in September must be available for an age testing procedure by scan arranged in Kuala Lumpur, if selected by ASF, before they may compete.

“This would enable them to be formally cleared to participate, and so cause any doubt to cease.

“It would also enable any players who had also competed in the World Juniors to have any doubts about their results set aside.”

Ahmed defeated Egypt’s number one Saadeldin Abouaish in straight games during the gold medal match by an 11-9, 11-9, 11-9 scoreline.

Shoukat overcame 16-year-old Egyptian, Marwan Tarek Abdelhamid, in his tie to secure 2-1 victory for his side in the final.

Egypt’s Ahsan Ayaz had briefly levelled the tie, before Shoukat’s victory.
