PHF turns down IHF offer
LAHORE, Aug 29: The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has refused the Indian Hockey Federation’s (IHF) offer to play an exhibition match in Chandigarh, India, on Sept 11.
According to a PHF spokesperson, IHF president Kanwar Partap Singh Gill had called up his counterpart Zafarullah Khan Jamali, about the match but he could not agree due to the Father of the Nation, Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s death anniversary that is also observed on that day. However, Jamali offered Gill to arrange such a match some time in November.
“The modalities and the date of the event will be subject to the approval of the officials of both the federations,” the spokesman added.—Sports Correspondent
