Pakistan’s hockey team will not be stopped from competing in next month’s Asia Cup in India, an Indian sports ministry source said on Thursday. “We are not against any team competing in India in a multi-national competition.
But bilateral is different,” the source said. “International sports demands that we cannot back out from competing. Russia and Ukraine are at war but they show up at multi-national events,” he added. The tournament is scheduled to be held in Rajgir, Bihar India from August 27 to September 7.
