Though it is the national sports of our country, hockey is not given proper patronage and support, both financially and morally. The government has forsaken this game of great attraction. Pakistan has won the first match in the Commonwealth Games in India but they are not being lauded as vehemently as the cricket team. This type of step-motherly treatment must be ended at once if we want our country to produce great players like Shehbaz Ahmad, Salah-ud-Din, etc.
