LAHORE: A galaxy of former and current hockey legends from around the world is set to entertain fans in Pakistan as the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has confirmed the arrival of a World XI hockey team next month to a play series of two matches against Pakistan. On sidelines of the World XI tour, ‘Hall of Fame’ will also be organised to honour former greats of the game from Pakistan, Australia and the Netherlands. An official of the PHF said Tuesday that the World XI team would have players from Netherlands, Spain, Australia, Germany, Belgium and Argentina. “They’re arriving on 18th of January to play the first match in Karachi on 19th and second in Lahore on 21st,” added the official. The PHF is hopeful that the arrival of hockey stars from around the world will not only open the doors of international hockey to Pakistan but it will also provide a much-needed boost to the national sport in the country.
