He went on to say that he hopes to help Pakistan win by giving even stronger performances at upcoming competitions. According to Hanan, hockey is a family sport for him, and he always tries to give it his all in every game to help Pakistan win.
His next objective is to bring the Junior World Cup. With plenty of preparation time, he’s optimistic about it. Hanan has already represented Pakistan in two previous World Cups, and if selected again, he aspires to lead the team to the victory stand.Tahir Saeed Butt emphasized that hockey has given Pakistan global recognition.
He expressed pride in past players and hopes that young talents like Hanan Shahid will take Pakistan hockey to new heights. Hanan’s performance in the Asian Hockey Champions Trophy and prior events has been outstanding.
Watching him play brings great joy. Tahir pointed out that in Pakistan, cricketers often receive rewards for performance, but as hockey is the national sport, young players should receive private sector support to help improve performance. He added that Hanan Shahid and his family have made immense contributions to Pakistan hockey, and heroes like them deserve recognition.
