India has confirmed Pakistan’s participation in the upcoming Junior Hockey World Cup. The tournament is scheduled to take place from November 28 to December 10 in Chennai and Madurai.
Hockey India’s Secretary General, Bhola Nath Singh, officially announced that Pakistan’s junior hockey team will compete in the prestigious event.
Earlier, Pakistan had withdrawn from the ongoing Asia Cup in Bihar due to security concerns, which had raised doubts about the team’s World Cup participation. However, following discussions between the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) and Indian officials, confirmation has now been provided.
Both India and Pakistan are placed in Pool B of the Junior Hockey World Cup, alongside Chile and Switzerland, promising a highly anticipated clash between the arch-rivals.
