“The emotion among the youth is undeniable. If Pakistan can create a strong foundation based on fitness, physical training, and modern standards of choice, then there is every reason to believe that the nation can lift the global world again.”

Bowllander also thanked Khwaja Junaid for facilitating his visit, which allows him to connect with the country’s emerging hockey capabilities. He emphasized, “Pakistan is a land that is suffering from raw hockey’s ability. However, it is important to identify and raise this ability from an early age.
