Quote:KARACHI: Pakistanââ¬â¢s hockey chiefs are mulling over the option of pulling out of a couple of international tournaments because of growing uncertainty hovering over the sport in the country following the Greenshirtsââ¬â¢ last-place finish in the World Cup last week.
Asif Bajwa, the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) secretary, told ââ¬ËThe Newsââ¬â¢ that there is a possibility that the PHF might withdraw the national team from any upcoming international tournaments because of the prevailing situation in Pakistan hockey.
ââ¬ÅCurrently, we donââ¬â¢t have any team management, national selectors while our players have decided to retire because of what happened in the World Cup,ââ¬Â said Bajwa, who was sacked as the team manager and is now under pressure from various quarters to resign as PHF secretary as well because of his teamââ¬â¢s catastrophic World Cup campaign.
ââ¬ÅThat is why it is a possibility that we might pull out of any international event in the near future,ââ¬Â he added.
