Egypt's world champion Amr Shabana moves into his 25^th successive month at the top of the Dunlop PSA Men's World Squash Rankings - according to the April list published today (Wednesday) by the Professional Squash Association - thereby claiming the longest unbroken run as world number one since legendary Pakistani Jansher Khan more than ten years ago.

The 28-year-old from Cairo first topped the rankings in April 2006, since when he has won nine PSA Tour titles.  In December in Bermuda, Shabana won his third World Open crown - and his fourth successive PSA Super Series title in just two months!

After record eight times world champion Jansher Khan completed a 53-month world number one run in January 1998, his English successor Peter Nicol established a 24-month unbroken run which ended in December 2003.

The unchanged April top ten sees Shabana's compatriot Ramy Ashour at two; Frenchman Gregory Gaultier in third place, and Englishman James Willstrop at No4.

Just outside the top ten, Malaysia's Ong Beng Hee leaps five places to No12 - his highest ranking since December 2003.  Beng Hee, the 28-year-old from Penang who is based in the UK, celebrated a two-year Tour title drought last month when he won the CIMB KL Open on home soil.

Fellow Malaysian Mohd Azlan Iskandar also celebrates a notable rise - five positions to No13.  The 25-year-old from Kuala Lumpur beat Ong Beng Hee in the final of the Asian Championship in February, then finished as runner-up to his national rival in the KL Open.

After celebrating his top 20 debut last month, Australia's Cameron Pilley makes further progress in the April list by moving to a career-high 18.  The UK-based 25-year-old from New South Wales achieved his best ever run in a 5-star event last month - reaching the final of the ISS Canary Wharf Classic in London as the seventh seed.
