Hannan Shahid, Sufyan Khan & Rana Waheed will play from Terengganu Hockey Team in the TNB Cup Malaysia 2026 from last week November to first week of December 2026.
@Muneeb313_ Muneeb bhai I think we missed Aimal Khan.
I don't was he injured or what but he had played a huge part in recent Cava Championships success of Pakistan in last 2 years. Had he been there we might have even played the final as per my reckoning.
Alhamdulillah. Every big victory starts with a little one, and this is only the beginning. Didn't get the gold, but we got something worth holding onto. Bronze today, gold tomorrow, InshaAllah. The hunger for more stays. Small wins, big dreams. Right track, right team. To everyone who prayed, cheered, and believed: this one's for you. Grateful for every step โ๏ธ๐ต๐ฐโค๏ธ๐

Somewhere in Islamabad a citation is surely being drafted. It will have to be long, because the achievements are many, and it will have to be careful, because most of them exist only in a presentation slide.
Pakistan have lost to India again, in a final this time, a gold medal turned to silver in a modest athletic park in Japan, and the man who presided over it deserves to be recognised.
Not with a Sitara-e-Imtiaz, which this country hands to anyone who has stood near a cricket ground long enough. Something grander. The Nishan-e-Imtiaz, perhaps. Pakistan cricket has always been most generous to the men who fail it with the greatest composure.
Mike Hesson came with the reputation of a thinker. New Zealand had been made into something coherent on his watch, a small country punching above itself through method and calm. Pakistan was told it was acquiring a mind. It is fair, then, to ask what that mind produced on Saturday.
Begin with the second over of a final against the strongest T20 side in the world. Abhishek Sharma is at the crease in the mood he is always in against Pakistan, and the ball goes to Saad Masood.
Saad Masood plays his franchise cricket for Islamabad United, a side Hesson has coached, which is the kind of coincidence Pakistan cricket produces in such quantity that nobody bothers to count them anymore. The over cost 24. The first three overs cost 43. The last three cost 57. Pakistan, in other words, gave away a hundred runs in six overs, close to a third of the match surrendered in its two ends, and then lost by 19. The case does not need a prosecutor. It needs a stenographer.

ABSOLUTE CINEMA! INDIA BEAT PAKISTAN 4-3 TO REACH THE FINAL! ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฅ๐
INDIA HAD THE 3โ0 LEAD.
PAKISTAN TOOK IT TO 3โ3.
THEN ABHISHEK BROKE THEIR HEARTS.
What a finish in Aichi-Nagoya!
India were cruising.
Pakistan refused to stay down.
Three goals became two.
Two became one.
And suddenly, with the semifinal hanging by a thread, Pakistan levelled it at 3โ3.
Then came the moment.
ABHISHEK.
FINAL MINUTE.
4โ3 INDIA. ๐ฅ๐
๐ฎ๐ณ INDIA 4โ3 PAKISTAN ๐ต๐ฐ
No penalty shootout.
No extra drama.
Just one final strike that sent India straight into the Asian Games final. ๐ฅ
And there is another chapter to this story:
For the first time since Bangkok 1998, Indiaโs menโs AND womenโs hockey teams have reached the Asian Games final in the same edition. ๐ฎ๐ณ
The rivalry delivered everything.
India delivered the last word.
