Pakistan has officially withdrawn from participating in the Junior Hockey World Cup scheduled for November and December in India, as confirmed by the international hockey federation (FIH) to PTI.
The tournament, initially including Pakistan, will now see a replacement team, to be named soon, competing in its place. Matches are set to be held in Chennai and Madurai.
Relations between India and Pakistan in the sporting arena have been tense following the April 22 Pahalagam terror attack, compounded by India's response through Operation Sindoor.
