tournaments will be over soon after which we will come out

Incidentally, HI has been hit hard by a recent crisis
after the Sports Ministry and FIH had asked it to first clear

for the delay in the election process.

gave HI time till February first week to sort out the
affiliation issues with the state bodies. PTI
