Pakistan Hockey Team's Australian Ordeal Sparks Outrage

In a shocking turn of events, the Pakistan national hockey team found itself stranded on the streets of Canberra, Australia, after the Pakistan Hockey Federation's failure to settle hotel bills on time. Olympians Hassan Sardar and Samiullah described the incident as 'shameful' and demanded a thorough investigation.

The team, in Australia for the FIH Pro League, was left to navigate a chaotic situation, further exacerbated by the federation's prior handling of travel arrangements. Samiullah criticized the lack of support from the Prime Minister, who is also the patron-in-chief of the PHF, urging him to address the dire state of hockey affairs.

Adding to the chaos, a source revealed that the Pakistan Sports Board was initially responsible for payments and arrangements, yet funds were not allocated. The team's previous unresolved financial obligations further highlight the ongoing mismanagement plaguing Pakistan's hockey administration.
