"A former official of the Pakistan Hockey Federation [PHF] made some bad decisions during the last Azlan Shah Cup which left the PHF in debt to the Malaysian Hockey Federation," said a PHF source.

The Malaysian organisers were "not happy" with the situation so didn't extend an invite to Pakistan. Pakistan Hockey Federation are still hopeful of getting an invite as they remain in talks to sort out the matter.
