Pakistan is expected to miss upcoming sports events in India after PSB put new rules in place for all national sports federations. According to the latest order, Pakistani sports bodies cannot confirm their teams’ participation in any events held in India unless they get special approval from the PSB first.
The PSB issued this directive on July 25 after its 34th board meeting, where officials discussed the matter in detail. The main reason for this strict rule is secur_ity concerns for Pakistani athletes and officials traveling to India.
With this new policy, it is very likely that Pakistan will not take part in sports competitions hosted by India in the near future. One of the major events that Pakistan might now skip is the Hockey Asia Cup, which is scheduled to be held in India soon.
Officials believe that this step is necessary to ensure the safety of players and to carefully review the situation before making any travel decisions. The PSB wants to make sure that national teams do not face any risks or difficulties while competing abroad, especially in countries where the secur_ity situation may pose a challenge.
Many sports fans and experts think this decision will affect sports relations between the two countries and limit opportunities for players to compete internationally.
However, the PSB has said that the safety of Pakistani athletes will always be their top priority, and any decision to allow participation will be made only after careful consideration of all factors involved.
