Mohammed Qureshi
Pakistan bowls player
Mohammed Ayub Qureshi (born 20 August 1958), commonly known as Chico, is an international lawn and indoor bowler from Pakistan. He is based in Glasgow, Scotland, where he has lived for over 50 years and represented Pakistan at the 2014 Commonwealth Games as part of the nation's debut team in the sport. Born in Multan, Punjab, Pakistan, Qureshi balances his athletic pursuits with co-owning the Ali Shan Tandoori Restaurant alongside teammate Muzahir Ali Shan. He was introduced to lawn bowls by his bank manager and has since become a two-time club champion in Glasgow, fostering connections within the local community, including notable figures like Scottish politician Alex Salmond.
Qureshi has also competed in events like the 10th Asian Lawn Bowls Championship in 2014, contributing to Pakistan's growing presence in regional competitions, and represented Pakistan at the 2022 and 2025 World Bowls Indoor Championships. He once again represented Pakistan at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, competing in both men's singles and pairs alongside Maqsood Wasim Khan.
Bowls career
Qureshi represented Pakistan at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in the Lawn bowls tournament held in Glasgow. It was the first time that Pakistan competed in bowls at the Commonwealth Games. His international breakthrough came in 2014 when he received an unexpected call-up to Pakistan's men's triples team for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, competing with Maqsood Khan and Muzahir Shan but failing to advance beyond the preliminary rounds after losses to teams from the Falkland Islands, Australia, England, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea. Despite the results, his participation marked a milestone for Pakistan in lawn bowls, a sport relatively new to the country, and helped inspire greater interest domestically.

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 7, 2026.

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
