Pakistan Not Invited For Sultan Azlan Shah Hockey Cup By Malaysia. Reason Is...
The Pakistan team had gone to Malaysia to play in the Johar hockey cup and the PHF officials including their families also accompanied the team.
"While the team's stay and expenses were to be borne by the organisers, the PHF officials which included the former President were told clearly they would have to clear all expenses themselves. These officials also stayed at the same luxury hotel where the teams were staying," said the source.
The Johar association has already taken up the issue with the Malaysian federation and has threatened to take the matter to the FIH if dues are not cleared.
"The current PHF President and his team are in a fix because the federation is already cash strapped and they were not aware of these expenses by former PHF officials," the source said.
Sultan Azlan Shah Cup is scheduled to be held in Ipoh from November 22-29.

As speculation grows around Sai Sudharsan's rumored Test debut for India, the 23-year-old batter gave fans a peek into his daily essentials and it's not just cricket gear. In a video titled 'What's in Sai's Bag?', Sudharsan unpacked items that reveal as much about his discipline as they do his taste. While selectors keep a close watch on his on-field performance, the off-field glimpse has added to the growing curiosity surrounding this rising talent. Functional, focused and fashion forward The short reel opens with Sudharsan casually pulling out a basic white towel and a change of white t-shirt—straightforward picks that hint at his structured, post-training routine. He then reveals a pair of sunglasses, saying, 'Since it's a trading day and a running day actually, I have my glasses out.' According to InsideSport's Rising Star page, the shades clock in at INR 13,000 (approx. USD 151.23). He also carries a pair of AirPods Pro reportedly worth INR 24,900 (approx. USD 289.66), calling them 'essential' for music during recovery. His wrist sports a fitness band worth INR 27,000 (approx. USD 314.09) that tracks strain, recovery, and sleep—a go-to gadget for athletes optimizing performance. Among the final items in his bag is a sunscreen and a bottle of Arabian oud perfume. 'Worked wonders for me,' he says about the sunscreen, priced modestly at INR 700 (approx. USD 8.14). The perfume, on the other hand, is anything but, retailing for INR 28,379 (approx. USD 330.13), it adds a clear touch of luxury. With apparel and high-performance tools in tow, Sudharsan looks every bit the athlete ready for red-ball cricket's grind—stylish, prepared, and locked in.

British Open schedule on Saturday to be adjusted because of loyalist parade
Tee times in Saturday's third round of the British Open (The Open) will be brought forward in an effort to reduce the potential for disruption while an annual loyalist parade takes place the same day in Portrush. Some 77 bands, and an estimated 2,000 people from the Portrush Sons of Ulster organisation, are expected to march through the town in Northern Ireland that is hosting golf's oldest major championship. The parade is scheduled to start at 8.30 pm local time — around the same time that thousands of spectators might be leaving the property at Royal Portrush following the third round of the Open Championship. Amid the potential for logistical issues, the R&A which organises the British Open, is adjusting its schedule for Saturday. 'We've worked really collaboratively with the organisers and across multiple agency groups to ensure primarily that both events can run as seamlessly as possible,' R&A chief executive Mark Darbon said on Wednesday. 'We're making a slight tweak to tee times to try and finish — it's not dramatic. It'll be 15 minutes or so earlier,' he added. More than 275,000 spectators are expected to attend the Open across this week. ALSO READ | The Open 2025: Dates, course history, players, prize money & more The Belfast Telegraph reported last week the Portrush Sons of Ulster group was offered 20,000 pounds (USD 27,000) by the R&A to postpone the parade, and that the offer was rejected. When that was put to Darbon, he said the R&A was making contributions to support 'the seamless operation of both events.' 'We try and be good citizens in the communities in which we operate when we come to town,' he said. Darbon said he had no extra security concerns around Saturday evening, adding the safety of spectators was 'always a prime consideration.' Price hikes It's a big week for Portrush and its local businesses — and it appears some have been attempting to take full advantage. The prices of meals at some of the town's popular restaurants shot up, leading to criticism and complaints from visitors, The Guardian newspaper reported. According to the paper, the price of a burger at Ramore Wine Bar rose from 7.95 pounds (USD 10.65) to 17.95 pounds (USD 24). The Ramore Restaurant Group, which owns that bar and others, including the well-known Harbour Bar, attributed the price hikes to extra staff being needed for a busy Open week, but said menus have been 'revised and adjusted' in the wake of the complaints.
