The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has said that the national team would participate in a four-nation tournament in India, if it gets a No Objection Certificate (NOC) form the federal government.
"We have confirmed participation in the four-nation hockey event in India and have applied for government clearance which we hope will come," the Daily Times quoted PHF Secretary General Mohammad Asif Bajwa, as saying.
The tournament will be played from September 19 to 26 between India, Pakistan, New Zealand and Argentina.
India had stalled bilateral sporting ties with Pakistan after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks in 2008, in which 166 people were killed.
However, the Prime Ministers of both the countries had vowed to resume sporting ties when they met at the India-Pakistan cricket World Cup semi-final in March. ANI
