Lahore, Aug 24: Former hockey powerhouse Pakistan qualified for a major tourment after a gap of six years when they made the cut for the men’s World Cup 2018, the Intertiol Hockey Federation (FIH) announced on Thursday.
Pakistan, the record World Cup winners, had missed out on the 2014 World Cup in The Hague, the Netherlands, and their dark period extended even to non-qualification for the 2016 Rio Olympics. IANS
