Pakistan Hockey Open Series scheduled for Sept 26-30 postponed

LAHORE (92 News) – The Pakistan Hockey Open Series scheduled for September 26-30 in Lahore has been postponed. Owing to faulty planning, the Pakistan Hockey Federation could not attract Bangladesh and Afghanistan to the event. The PHF had invited Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka, Oman and Qatar, but the latter three refused to participate in the event. Meanwhile, Minister for Inter-Provincial Harmony Fehmida Mirza took notice of the matter and said that no one will be allowed to play politics in the federation. She said that the cancellation of the event defames the country. “We will not tolerate any damage to sports,” he said.
