The players of the Pakistan hockey team were forced to spend several hours on the road upon reaching the Australian capital Canberra, as their hotel bookings were cancelled after the Pakistan Hockey Federation failed to pay the bill due to a lack of funds. They are in Australia for the second leg of the FIH Pro League event in Hobart. The incident has been seen as a major source of embarrassment for Pakistan’s national sport, with the team struggling to compete against top-ranked sides like Australia and Germany in the Hobart leg of the Pro League. Pakistan have so far lost all six of their matches in the Pro League.
