The tournament was scheduled to be held from April 11 -18 in Ipoh Malaysia and Pakistan hockey team was also confirmed to take part in the event.

However, the organisers have postponed the event for the safety of the players and now this event will be held from September 24 – October 2 at the same venue.

The PHF has to initiate second phase of the training camp for the event from March 5 and that has also been now scrapped.
