Please pay attention to hockey, I still love the days of Hassan Sardar, Shahbaz, Akhtar Rasool, those days r priceless, seeing hockey match on B&W TV and uncle surgam even in those days made fun that govt was not supporting hockey, The same gestures were portrayed in 50 50. Good team will present our power show in international events.

If you can't beat them in cricket, you can always beat them in hockey. Good thinking...

Excellent show by green-shirts in the backyard of its novice rivals during the inaugural match of the 2017 Asia Field Hockey Cup Tournament, thus sending shocking waves to the Indian hockey camp. Keep it up and hang on tough. May God Almighty grant green-shirts more successes in the days to come Aameen, Tsum Aameen.
