Pakistan Recalled Four Senior Players for Asia Cup Hockey 2009
Pakistan did not fare well in the recently concluded Sultan Azlan Shah Hockey tournament in Malaysia where they became fourth among the five teams and suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Malaysia. Now, ahead of Asia Cup 2009 starting from 9 May in Malaysia, Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has recalled four senior players including penalty corner specialist Sohail Abbas, Waseem Ahmad, striker Rehan Butt and goalkeeper Salman Akbar. Sohail has already joined Pakistan’s Asia Cup camp on 21 April. Three other players will also join the national camp for Asia Cup hockey very soon. With these four senior players back into the squad, Pakistan is expected to appear with their full strength in Asia Cup 2009 hockey tournament, putting their recent disappointing performance behind.
