Pakistan's Basketball Community's Outrage Over Alleged Favouritism Showcases Administrative Failure: Report
FISU World University Games: Pakistan’s basketball community’s outrage over the alleged favouritism and lack of transparency in the team selection for the Singapore tournament marks yet another case of the country’s administrative failure in sports. Reports of deserving players being sidelined have sparked uproar, a report has stated.
Sports in Pakistan suffers the most as internal politics, ego and personal connections take precedence over merit. Basketball is not the only case, as similar reports have emerged about cricket boards, hockey federations and athletic councils, Pakistan-based The Nation reported.
Mismanagement, petty turf wars and the arrogance of officials have become structural features of the sports sector in Pakistan. Many of the sporting bodies in the country, instead of nurturing athletes, appear more focused on maintaining fiefdoms, which results in talent being demoralised or lost to neglect.
