Bajwa’s previous tenure Pakistan won the Asian Games in 2010 after a long period of two decades and they also claimed bronze medal in the Champions Trophy after a gap of almost 10 years and also won the Asian Champions Trophy. When Bajwa resigned six years back, he neither elaborated upon the reasons behind his decision to resign nor did he mention the series of setbacks and failures during his tenure which included the Pakistan team’s miserable showing in the 2010 World Cup where they finished 12th out of 12 teams and their ordinary faring in the London 2012 Games where they ended up a poor seventh. Pakistan also squandered the opportunity of qualifying for the World Cup 2014 in the World Hockey League in Malaysia where they again ended up at 7th spot. And the last straw was the team’s failure to qualify for the World Cup 2014 when they fell short of lifting the Asia Cup in Ipoh, Malaysia.
