The head coach of the Pakistan hockey team, Shahnaz Sheikh, is expected to be absent from the Asian Champions Trophy in India because his visa has not been issued.

While all the players in the squad received their visas after the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) obtained a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB), Sheikh’s visa application was made only after his appointment last week. As a result, he won’t be able to join the team in India for the tournament.
