You did the nation proud even tho we let you down by providing little institutional support. POA & other bodies need total overhaul. Sports federations need professionals to run them not retired civil/mly bureaucrats. Sports needs restructuring in Pak out of the hands of babus. https://t.co/UbXo1WqVQT
