      <title>PHF forms key committees as national team management steps down</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330452876/phf-forms-key-committees-as-national-team-management-steps-down</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In a major step to strengthen hockey’s organisational structure, the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has announced the formation of two key committees, separating administrative and sporting affairs.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ad-hoc president Mohyuddin Wani said Governance Management and Professional Development Committees would be constituted within two days to align the national sport with modern requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Governance Management Committee will oversee PHF’s administrative matters, including human resources, finance, resource mobilisation, communication and coordination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It will also liaise with schools and colleges to promote the sport.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Professional Development Committee will comprise former Olympians, sports coaches, trainers and sports medicine experts to focus on technical and performance-related aspects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a id="team-management-decline-to-continue-their-roles" href="#team-management-decline-to-continue-their-roles" class="heading-permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Team management decline to continue their roles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the national hockey team management declined to continue in their roles after meeting the PHF’s acting president.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The delegation included head coach Tahir Zaman, manager M. Usman and Zeeshan Ashraf.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The management had been offered oversight of the training camp but opted not to proceed. As a result, the national team will compete in the upcoming World Cup qualifying round under a new management setup.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pakistan is scheduled to depart for Egypt on February 24 to participate in the qualifying event, which will be held from March 1 to 8.&lt;/p&gt;
