Rajgir, Aug. 30 -- Hockey India Secretary General Bhola Nath Singh said on Saturday that Pakistan has agreed to send its junior team to India for the International Hockey Federation (FIH) Junior Men's Hockey World Cup 2025, scheduled to be held in Tamil Nadu later this year.

The development comes after Pakistan opted out of the Asia Cup, being held in Bihar's Rajgir.
