LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi, in a noticeable move, announced jobs on Wednesday for all the unemployed members of the national hockey team.

Mohsin made the announcement during a meeting with the Pakistan hockey squad at PCB’s offices at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore and congratulated them for qualifying for this year’s World Cup being held in Holland and Belgium in August.
