After Pakistan Hockey Players' 'Had To Wash Dishes' Charge, Federation Head Resigns. Mentions Asim Munir

Tariq Bugti, the president of the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF), has stepped down following controversy surrounding the national team's recent tour of Australia. The resignation comes after players publicly voiced their discontent over living conditions, claiming they were forced to wash dishes during their stay at a hotel. This incident has sparked widespread criticism and highlighted ongoing issues within the PHF regarding the management and welfare of the national team. The tour, which was marked by difficulties both on and off the field, raises questions about the federation's capacity to support its athletes effectively. The situation has drawn attention from various stakeholders, including military chief Asim Munir, as the sport struggles to regain its former glory in Pakistan. Bugti's resignation signals a potential shift in leadership as the PHF seeks to address the grievances of players and improve conditions moving forward.
