Pakistan Players Forced to Wash Dishes During World Cup Over Unpaid Hotel Bills

A few days ago, the Pakistan hockey team, which was going to play the second leg of the FIH Pro League in Australia, was seen sitting on the road for hours. Later, it was found that the Pakistan Hockey Federation and the team management did not pay the advance booking money for the hotel in Australia where the players were staying. Due to which the Pakistani players had to wait for a long time in front of the hotel. Now they have washed utensils (Pakistan Team Washed Utensils)! The captain of the Pakistan hockey team shared that sorrow while facing the journalists.

Pakistani hockey players had to wash utensils in the hotel

Recently, after finishing the sports schedule in Australia, journalists stopped the Pakistani hockey players as they landed at the Lahore airport. There, facing the camera, the captain of the Pakistan hockey team, Ahmad Shakeel Butt, clearly stated that he and the entire Pakistan hockey team had to spend hours on the road due to the lack of hotel booking in Australia. At the same time, they had to wash the kitchen utensils of the hotel before the match due to non-payment of the hotel rent.

In the words of Shakeel, “We are sweating our heads off. We really cannot go to play with such an arrangement of the federation. When the players should be preparing mentally and physically before the match, we had to clean the kitchen before going to play. We had to wash the plates. How can you expect good results from us after this?”

The Pakistan captain said with a lot of frustration that the entire Pakistani team had to face multiple problems during the hockey tournament in Australia. They had to wait for about 14 hours in Sydney before the flight to Canberra. While booking the hotel, it was found that the federation had not paid the advance payment. As a result, they had to sit on the road for hours. Apart from this, there are other problems before the match. In the words of the Pakistan captain, “All the arrangements need to be made before sending them to play the tournament. This is not how we can play.”

It is worth noting that Pakistan has been eliminated in the FIH Pro League in Australia against teams like Australia and Germany. After losing 2-3 to Australia in the first match, they were also defeated by Germany. In short, playing in Australia in the middle of the T20 World Cup, the Western country has been humiliated by losing every match, along with extreme harassment.
