‘We have sent a memorandum to Hockey India for a bilateral series. Pakistan has approved it. Being the national coach of Pakistan Hockey team, I can mention this. We are waiting to get a letter of understanding from Hockey India’, the former Pakistan captain told reporters on Thursday.
‘Soon, we want not only the senior team, but the junior, u-14, u-16 even state-level teams; we are thinking of playing on that level. The interaction should happen on a regular basis,’ said Zaman who will be a expert commentator in Hindi for Star Sports when it telecasts the Hockey India League starting on January 25. ‘I am very much hopeful. Soon we will see Pakistan-India hockey games, some matches in Pakistan and some matches in India, on every level,’ he said.
‘We are very serious about it and Hockey India is also very serious about it. This (bilateral series) can be an event that can increase the number of hockey players and viewers. We have written about the suitable dates, so that we can discuss. ‘There are going to be many events in India. So whichever date is suitable for them, we will try to play accordingly,’ he added.
The 1992 bronze medal winning Pakistan Olympic team member said a series between India and Pakistan would help both nations.
