With players from both India and Pakistan supporting more games between the two sides, Hockey India on Wednesday indicated it could look into bilateral matches in near future.
Pakistan coach Rehan Butt has repeatedly said the two sides should play more to increase the level of Asian hockey, and India captain Harmanpreet Singh on Tuesday supported the idea. HI secretary general Bhola Nath Singh also agreed. “There will be more India-Pakistan matches. It won’t happen immediately after today’s game, of course, but it will, at both senior and junior levels. We just need to stay patient,” he declared. He also reiterated HI’s stance that the team will travel to Pakistan if needed for the Olympics qualifiers.
