PHF accepted Shahbaz's resignation.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) secretary Shahbaz Ahmed Senior has resigned from his post.
PHF President Khalid Sajjad Khokhar said on Saturday that Shahbaz resigned as he could not give enough time to the federation due to his "assignment with PIA (Pakistan International Airlines).
In a video statement, Khokhar said that he had accepted Shahbaz s resignation and announced former Olympian Asif Bajwa as his replacement.
Lauding Shahbaz s services for the PHF, Khokhar said Shahbaz spent about three and a half years with me and worked beyond his capacity."
Bajwa, who had resigned from the post of PHF secretary in 2013, will take charge of his office on Monday, Khokhar said.
Shahbaz had turned in his resignation in December last year as well after Pakistan’s dismal show at the hockey World Cup in India where they finished 11th. However, PHF had turned down his resignation.
