PTV neglecting hockey

Published December 17, 2017

WHENEVER I happen to watch PTV Sports, most of the time it shows cricket. Even hockey, which is our national sport in which we excelled and had been among world’s top-ranked teams, has been completely neglected.

Even the recording of the Asian hockey championship in Bangladesh and the tournament in Australia where Pakistan participated was not shown. This is one of the reasons our hockey standard has gone down.

If PTV cannot change its policy, it is better to change its name from PTV Sports to PTV Cricket.
