Re: Pakistan fail to qualify for the Junior Mens World Cup
Initially 12 teams were to participate in Asia Junior Cup and FIH had alloted 6 spots for next year's Asia region. But eventually only 8 teams participated in the Junior Asia Cup. So FIH is likely to reduce the number of places available for Asia in the Junior Asia World Cup. As at least 20 countries are taking part in the Eurpean Junior Championship, so they deserve more places in the World Cup.
So only a mercy quota can take Pakistan to next years World Cup now.
