Hockey India refused Pakistan's request to move the Asian Champions Trophy to a neutral venue after Pakistan declined to travel to India due to security concerns.
Hockey India secretary general Bhola Nath Singh stated that no venue changes will be entertained and Pakistan must travel to India to compete.
The tournament is scheduled to take place in Mohali and Jalandhar, Punjab, from October 27 to November 5, with Bangladesh or Oman eyed as replacements if Pakistan withdraws.
