Karachi/New Delhi, Mar 11 - - Upset over Pakistan's worst ever performance in the hockey World Cup, the national Federation today sacked its selection committee and team management while the entire 18-man squad resigned, taking up moral responsibility for the shoddy show.
Pakistan today finished in the last position (12th) in the mega event after losing the play-off match to Canada.
Pakistan Hockey Federation President Qasim Zia the result was against all expectations.
"It is a shameful performance that we have ended up on the last spot in the World Cup, this was something I was not expecting at all from this team," Zia told.
Zia, a former Olympian himself, said that a committee will be formed to inquire into the debacle.
"The immediate step I could take has been taken, but clearly Pakistan hockey today is at its lowest ebb and we need to take drastic measures to set things right," he said.
