The hockey body took the decision at its executive committee meeting yesterday.

BHF general secretary Shamsul Bari, however, informed reporters that they talked with the Pakistani yesterday.

"He (Qamar Ibrahim) said that his father illness made the delay of his return. Qamar also assured us about the return of trainer Ershad Haider within couple of day. But we will search a alternative person if Qamar failed to join by first week of July," said Bari.
