Jakhrani directs PHF to turn down players’ resigns
ISLAMABAD: Federal Sports Minister Ejaz Jakhrani has directed the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) not to accept the resignations submitted by the entire hockey team following their dismal performance in FIH World Cup.
The federal minister Tuesday met with the team, which finished last in the 12-nation tournament.
Later, Jakhrani told media that players could not perform better due to the fatigue after playing constant hockey ahead of the world cup.
“We will have to work together to save the hockey in Pakistan, he said, adding that former players will also be consulted in this regard.”
