Carla ... 22 years of age, is currently number 22 in the world rankings. Born and raised in Britain, however she chose to play for Pakistan national team (# 1).  A> What is the gravity of the "Khan" name in the squash world ?  C> The name is there ... we cant questioned that ... I`m certainly proud for what I`ve inherited ... truth though its not easy being a Khan ... there`s a lot of "lobbying" taking place ... well ... on international level is a name respected but ... there are a lot of people who wouldnt like me to do well .. people are afraid of the competition ... Having this name is really difficult .. its a great name in international sport ...but lets face it ... it doesnt open doors for me ... it practically makes it harder for me ... I have to be always strong to face these out of court "challenges" ... but every little hurdle makes me stronger ... :))  ISLAMABAD, September 03 (Online): British Born, Pakistani / Carla Khan has got the title of Pakistan POF squash championship organized by Pakistan Squash Federation by defeating Malaysian Sharon Li in the final match played in the Jahangir Khan squash complex on Friday.  After one-sided match, Carala Khan knocked out the Malaysian Sharon Li by winning the final match with 3-0 sets.
