The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has expressed disappointment over the International Hockey Federation’s (FIH) decision to shift the Champions Trophy hockey tournament from Lahore.
PHF secretary Khalid Mahmood said the  decision was a big letdown. 
“We can understand the position of the FIH because of the way the participating teams reacted to playing in Lahore and the security situation in the country. But we were very keen to host the event on schedule in December,” he said. He added that  Pakistan had offered all security assurance.
