Pak hockey players take back resignations | Less than a week after they resigned owning moral responsibility for their flop show in the World Cup in Delhi, Pakistani hockey players have taken
their resignations back. Pakistan finished 12th in the World Cup, but the players
agreed to take back their resignations after a meeting with Federal Sports Minister
Ijaz Jakhrani. According to sources, Jakhrani asked the players to withdraw their
resignations, saying they were still 'good enough' to serve the nation. Interacting
with reporters after the meeting, Jakhrani said he has also asked the Pakistan
Hockey Federation (PHF) President Qasim Zia not to accept the players' resignation. Asked whether PHF secretary and team manager Asif Bajwa would be sacked or not, Jakhrani said a final decision would be taken by the PHF. "I will consult with the higher authorities and if we feel that by sacking Bajwa Pakistan hockey can
improve, we will remove him," The Daily Times quoted Jakhrani, as saying. |
