Hockey: New Zealand to host Champions Trophy
“It is always tough to move an event out of any country, but I have to say that the silver lining is the bid from New Zealand,” said FIH president Leandro Negre.
“New Zealand will put on a first-rate Champions Trophy and has been extremely flexible and professional given the tough circumstances and tight timeline.”
India will also lose its place in the eight-nation competition — the second biggest in hockey after the World Cup.
