The Pakistani hockey team will play Bangladesh in a pre-World Cup qualifying series.
The series schedule would be revealed soon, according to sources within the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF). According to sources, the pre-World Cup qualification series has been accepted by the International Hockey Federation (FIH).
The series victor will go on to the qualification round for the World Cup. After not competing in the Asia Cup, Pakistan was not granted direct access to the World Cup qualifying round.
According to sources, the FIH brought the issue before its Executive Board at the PHF’s request.
