Reviving hockey

Author: Daily Times

Sir: I have been watching the Champions Trophy hockey matches being played in India. I have no words to describe what a pathetic performance has been displayed by the Pakistan team.

The three consecutive defeats in the pool matches show a sorry state of affairs. The stunning defeats are ample proof that the authorities are not mindful of the pathetic performance of our national game.

I have no idea what chief coach Shahnaz Sheikh and his team have been doing, as our performance is deteriorating. I remember the golden days of our hockey when we had excellent players like Hassan Sardar, Kaleemullah, Manzoor Junior, Qazi Muhib, Shahid Ali Khan, Shahbaz Ahmad and Mohammad Shahbaz.

We have won three Olympic gold medals but now it seems that all those glories have been buried forever.
