However poor the performance of the Pakistan men’s National hockey team has been in major international competitions for nearly a decade or so, it has had a relatively steady flow of young and enterprising juniors into the senior team.

Such is the terrain of Pakistan hockey that it produces raw, uncut talent in abundance.
