- Senior squad members told the Pakistan Hockey Federation they will not travel to Australia unless the allowance dispute is settled in advance.
- Players say they were promised PKR 30,000 per day for the Argentina phase but were paid PKR 11,000, calling the $110 versus $40 gap unacceptable.
- PHF secretary Rana Mujahid says payments matched Pakistan Sports Board funds, noting PSB’s standard $40 per day policy for overseas events.
- The PHF maintains its own policy is PKR 30,000 per day but says it is constrained when tours are financed by the PSB.
- Pakistan lost all four Pro League matches in Argentina this month, and its continued campaign is now uncertain despite entry secured after a Nations Cup runners-up finish when New Zealand declined participation.
