Pakistan is likely to miss upcoming sports events in India as the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) has enforced new rules requiring special approval for participation in Indian-hosted competitions. The directive, issued after the PSB’s 34th board meeting, cites security concerns for athletes and officials traveling to India. This move could lead to Pakistan skipping major tournaments like the upcoming Hockey Asia Cup. Officials say the policy aims to protect players and ensure careful evaluation before travel. However, experts warn it may strain sports ties and reduce international exposure for Pakistani athletes.
