The Pakistan team had gone to Malaysia to play in the Johor hockey cup and the PHF officials, including their families, also accompanied the team.

"While the team's stay and expenses were to be borne by the organisers, the PHF officials which included the former President, were told clearly they would have to clear all expenses themselves.

The Johor association has already taken up the issue with the Malaysian federation and has threatened to take the matter to the FIH (International Hockey Federation) if dues are not cleared. "The current PHF President and his team are in a fix because the federation is already cash-strapped and they were not aware of these expenses by former PHF officials," the source said. Sultan Azlan Shah Cup is scheduled to be held in Ipoh from November 22-29.
