Pakistan hockey team not to travel to India over safety, political strains

(Web Desk): Pakistan has decided not to send its hockey team to India for the upcoming Asia Cup due to strained bilateral relations and serious security concerns for the players.

According to sources, Pakistan has always kept sports above politics, but India has politicized sports and made them controversial. The Indian media continues to spew venom against Pakistan, while extremist groups are openly issuing threats to the Pakistan hockey team through various social media accounts.

Given the current situation, the heightened tensions between the two countries, and the security threats facing the team, officials have concluded that sending players to India is not feasible at this time.
