The Pakistan national hockey team faced a major logistical crisis during their ongoing tour of Australia, with players reportedly left stranded due to alleged mismanagement by the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF).
After arriving in Sydney, team members were forced to wait for nearly 11 hours without proper arrangements, according to reports. Players reportedly had to navigate the city streets while waiting for transportation, highlighting serious shortcomings in planning and coordination.
Officials and players expressed frustration over the situation, noting that such incidents undermine the team’s preparation and focus ahead of international fixtures. Concerns have been raised about the PHF’s ability to manage overseas tours effectively.
The incident comes at a critical time as Pakistan seeks to strengthen its position in international hockey, making proper logistics and support essential for team performance. Analysts and fans alike have called for accountability and reforms within the PHF to prevent similar issues in the future.
The Pakistan Hockey Federation has yet to issue a detailed response regarding the incident, while players continue their tour under challenging circumstances.
