to seek clearance from the PSB before considering participation in any event across the border.<br \/>\nThe move came amid heightened tensions between the two countries, which have often spilled over into the sporting arena.<br \/>\nThe development follows government\u2019s decision not to send the national hockey team to India for the upcoming Men\u2019s Asia Cup Hockey Tournament, citing escalating political tensions and serious security concerns for the players.<br \/>\nAs per the sources, Pakistan has consistently upheld the principle of keeping sports separate from politics.<br \/>\nHowever, they claim that India has politicised the sporting arena, creating a hostile and unsafe environment, particularly for visiting Pakistani athletes.<br \/>\nIt is pertinent to mention that the Men\u2019s Hockey Asia Cup 2025 is scheduled to take place in Rajgir, India, from August 27 to September 7, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAHORE The Pakistan Sports
