Junior World Cup: With just over a month to go for the opening match, Pakistan have withdrawn from the FIH Men's Junior World Cup hockey tournament to be played from November 28 to December 10 in Chennai and Madurai, citing the political tensions with India as the reason.

According to a report in Telecom Asia Sport (www.telecomasia.net), the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF), after consulting their government, has sent an official intimation to FIH, which in turn will inform Hockey India.

This is the second event in India that Pakistan has withdrawn from after the Men's Asia Cup in Rajgir, Bihar.
