Pakistan’s hockey federation (PHF) reacts after being cleared to play in India for the Asian Champions Trophy, according to reporting in Pakistan’s English daily Dawn.
PHF officials say they will comply with the decision of Pakistan’s government regarding the national team’s participation. Wani, identified in the report as the federal secretary of the Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination, is quoted as stating that PHF will abide by the government’s position.
While the clearance allows the team to participate in principle, the final question of whether the national side will travel and compete is linked to the government’s stance. The available coverage focuses on the domestic process and PHF’s stated willingness to follow it, rather than detailing the tournament arrangements, match schedule, or any on-the-field issues.
