Re: Sohail should never be invited: Saqlain
Even if Sohail Abbas is not much worth as a defender, he is the best with penalty corners. I guess he is much better than any other specialist. He has scored more goals in hockey than any other person in history and he always had a ratio of over 1 goal per game.
He retired (for money or whatever reasons) and he was never interested in coming back. He was the best player we got after Shahbaz Senior even if we consider his field game to be nil. It is not good for any hockey player or official to give such remarks about him.
Without him Pakistan failed to convert any of the 6 penalty corners they got against Malaysia and also failed to score otherwise, thus failed to make it to finals.
