Pakistan has officially barred all its sports teams from participating in events held in India due to security concerns, a notification issued by the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) has said. 

The decision was taken during a recent meeting of the PSB. The notification clearly states that no sports federation will be allowed to send teams to India without prior approval from the board.

As a result of this directive, Pakistan's national team will not be able to take part in the upcoming Asia Hockey Cup. The notification does not specify how long the restriction will remain in place.

The move reflects heightened security sensitivities and adds another layer of complexity to already strained sporting relations between the two countries.
