Where Legacy Meets Future

THE VISION

A professional home for Pakistan's finest squash talent

Strawberry Sports Management, Pakistan’s first professionally run sports management organization, built the Champions Squash League (CSL) as a city-based franchise competition for the nation’s men and women players alike. The league gives elite squash a permanent competitive structure, pairing individual excellence with team pride in head-to-head ties that decide standings across a full season.

Pakistan built squash's greatest dynasty. CSL is built to begin the next one.

THE LEGACY

Half a century at the summit of world squash

WHY IT MATTERS

A standard worth reviving

Pakistan’s dominance in world squash faded after the late 1990s, and the infrastructure, investment, and media attention that once sustained the sport faded with it. The talent never left the country, and neither did the passion for the game. What disappeared was a professional league able to turn both into consistent, high-level competition. The Champions Squash League closes that gap directly. It gives players a competitive home, gives cities a team worth following, and gives fans a season of squash worth watching
