Meet the Glasgow curry shop boss representing Pakistan at bowlsFigure caption, ‘He might put something in my food!’ByAmy CanavanBBC Sport Scotland at the SEC CentrePublished29 minutes agoScottish bowler Jason Banks is fond of the Alishan Tandoori in Glasgow. But he knows it is best to avoid it this week.Why? Because Pakistan’s Mohammed ‘Chico’ Qureshi – who Banks will face in the Commonwealth Games men’s singles on Friday – runs the restaurant.While Banks was the first Team Scotland athlete to compete at these Games – as he defeated Robert Simpson of Jamaica in straight sets – you would be forgiven for thinking otherwise, as the well-supported Qureshi took to the portable rink at the SEC Centre in the session prior.
Pakistan was the name on the back of his shirt, but the 67-year-old restaurateur – who competed at the 2014 Games – has called Glasgow home for over 50 years.
