No India, Pakistan at Sultan Azlan Shah Cup?


The Australian team after winning the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup last year. So far, apart from Malaysia, only four other teams have confirmed participation – Australia, South Korea, Canada and France.

KUALA LUMPUR: This year’s Sultan Azlan Shah Cup could turn out to be a second grade tournament following India’s decision not to accept the invitation to play in the annual event.

And to make matters worse, Pakistan, another regular in the series, have also not replied to the invitation following upheavals within the Pakistan Hockey Federation.
