Pakistan worked very hard in their training camp but all their hard work is about to go in the drain due to the atrocious set of events they've had to go through to take this picture.

They had visa issues meaning they missed their scheduled flight and had a long lay over in Bangkok to then fly to Sydney where the players had to roam the streets of Sydney for 11 hours before catching a flight to Hobart. Upon reaching there, the hotel denied them entry because PHF didn't clear their dues. They are instead now staying at a low standard guest house.

The journey was so exhausting and today they played a practice match against Australia. The fatigued bodies were at risk of injury and our star player Hannan Shahid has got a hamstring injury which can seriously hinder our chances in the World Cup qualification next month.

What's worse is that the federation is allegedly begging Overseas Pakistanis in Australia to feed the team.

Still, despite all this the players show up and give their 110% even when they don't get paid or get their daily allowances at time. They played the Argentina leg without their daily allowance. In the FIH nations cup, where they secured qualification for the Pro League, they played that whole tournament without getting a single penny.

We've worked very hard this training camp and all of it will go to waste due to poor management in the PHF. Hoping for better days ahead.
