Author: Staff Report

KARACHI: After stepping down as head coach of the Pakistan hockey team, former center-half, Farhat Khan, has returned to Pakistan hockey management in the role of selector. An official of the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) confirmed Tuesday that Farhat had been added to Pakistan hockey’s selection committee which now has five members. “The PHF has inducted Farhat Khan and Qasim Khan into the national selection committee headed by Hasan Sardar,” said the spokesman for the PHF. Ayaz Mahmood and Mussadiq Hussain will also continue to work as members of Pakistan hockey selection committee. Farhat, who was a member of the hockey team that won the Bronze medal in Barcelona Olympic in 1992, had earlier stepped down as coach of the team citing personal reasons.
