KARACHI: The silver-medallist Pakistan hockey team has been knocked out of this year’s Sultan Azlan Shah Hockey Cup.

Reports suggest that the Pakistan Hockey Federation has not received any invitation from the tournament organizers, as the event is by invitation only. Defending champions Japan have also pulled out.

The tournament will be held in Ipoh from November 22 to 29 and will feature Belgium, Canada, Germany, India, Ireland and Malaysia. The international hockey governing body has already released the schedule for the event.

In the 2024 edition, Japan won its first Azlan Shah title by defeating Pakistan 4-1 in a penalty shootout. Pakistan remained unbeaten before the final, winning three matches and drawing two. In the previous edition, Pakistan had won the bronze medal.
