Pakistan’s economic situation has become so weak that their players are not going to play other countries. The Malaysian Hockey Federation has not invited Pakistan for the Azlan Shah Cup to be held this year due to the outstanding debt. Pakistan was the runner -up of this tournament last year. Meanwhile, voices have started to rise against the government there from within Pakistan.
‘Cricket is getting a boost only in Pakistan’
Pakistani expert Qamar Cheema spoke to Young Sports Anthjiast Amir Hussain about this matter. Qamar Cheema alleged that only cricket is promoted in Pakistan and only spent on it. He said that you give billions of rupees to cricket in Pakistan and do not even pay salary to the hockey team. Qamar Cheema said that we do not have hockey ground among college-universities.
Experts rained on Shahbaz government government
Pakistan’s Young Sports Anthjiast Amir Hussain said that the Shahbaz government should pay attention in this matter and whatever arrears Malaysia is, so that our team can play there. He said, our media is also not covering these things. Except Pakistan, media around the world is covering the matter. If our hockey team could not go to Malaysia, then it will be a shame for us.
Amir Hussain said, “We give PCB a budget of Arab-Arabs, while not showing cricket by performing. Our hockey team can perform. Football should be promoted. Football should be promoted. Money is not given for all these things, budgets are not approved.” The Malaysian organizer was not happy with the current situation of the Pakistan hockey team and not being able to pay the dues on time, so they took this action.
