💨 Abstract

Hockey India will defer to the Indian government on Pakistan's participation in the Asia Cup, scheduled for August 27 to September 7 in Rajgir, Bihar. This decision follows recent cross-border conflicts between India and Pakistan. Hockey India's secretary general, Bholanath Singh, emphasized that they will prioritize the government's advice and the country's honor. Pakistan had requested visa guarantees for its team, but the recent tensions cast doubts on their participation.
