Pakistan men's hockey team will take on Malaysia in the opening game of the Asian Champions Trophy 2023 in Chennai today. Once heavyweights in hockey, Pakistan now rank 16th in the world and are missing from the marquee tournaments regularly. Their hockey has been hit by apathy of administration and the love for hockey going down in the youngsters while cricket continued to grow. In India too, hockey saw a decline but it has been rising for the past decade.
