Congrats to Australia. Pakistanis and PHF should learn and accept defeat openly which was much expected due to their behavior.

My words are clear. I haven’t criticize Pakistanis Hockey players as they did well. What else players can do if they are joining the club in last month. The nation needs to change its behavior and we need to do upside down by removing egoistic and corrupt people from among us to do better business. The nation have every thing except loyal and honest decision makers.

First of all congratulations to Australia. This is not the fault of the players. PHF is responsible for this performance of our hockey team. Pakistani nation has always been wasting its GEMS. You cannot even count them. Shahbaz Senior was one of them. Nobody took care of him.

So it is our fate… We cannot deny it…
