Jasprit Bumrah’s Workload Debate: Balwinder Singh Sandhu Criticizes Modern “Workload
On Saturday, for the first time since 2018, Pakistan junior hockey team reached India for FIH Odisha Hockey Men’s Junior World Cup, becoming the 14th team out of the 16 that will compete in the tournament to reach to the top. The World Cup is being held in Bhubaneswar from November 24 to December 5.
The Pakistan team arrived for the upcoming FIH Junior World Cup and was given warm greetings by Hockey India. In 2016, the Pakistan Junior team was incapable to take part in the Junior Hockey World Cup held at Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh after being rejected visas by the Indian High Commission due to a definite suspension on the part of the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) in applying for the travel paper.
Pakistan’s last presence in India in any hockey competition was in 2018 when the senior team played in the men’s world cup in Bhubaneswar. Before that, they had driven for the Champions Trophy in 2014.
“Stills from the airport as we welcome the Pakistani contingent to Bhubaneswar for the FIH Odisha Hockey Men’s Junior World Cup 2021,” Hockey India said in a tweet.
