AHF upset over India’s withdrawal

Chennai: The threat of disciplinary action hangs over Hockey India consequent to the withdrawal of the Indian team from the Asia Cup indoor hockey championship starting at Ipoh, Malaysia, on August 4.

India was to field the men’s and women’s teams for the championship but is reported to have pulled out putting the organising unit in an embarrassing situation.

The reasons attributed to the withdrawal are lack of preparation and financial constraints. But the AHF views the decision to withdraw as breach of discipline. It is premature to guess the stand that AHF will take on the issue. Some are hopeful that India can still fulfil its commitment to participate. India faces the possibility of a fine, if not suspension. — Hockey Correspondent
