Pakistan's squash campaign at the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya gathered momentum on Friday after Muhammad Ashab Irfan and Noor Zaman both advanced to the men's singles semifinals with wins at the Nagoya Kinjo Futo Arena.

The pair's quarterfinal victories mean two Pakistani players will contest the semifinal round of the men's singles event, a result that has already guaranteed Pakistan a medal in the competition regardless of how the semifinals unfold.

The Asian Games squash event draws competitors from across the continent, and reaching the final four stage is considered a significant marker of a national program's strength at the tournament.

Further details on the semifinal schedule and opponents are expected to be confirmed by organisers as the tournament progresses in Nagoya.
