The Pakistan tent-pegging team left for Jordan on Monday to take part in the World Tent-Pegging Championship, which is scheduled to run from November 11 to 14. The squad departed after completing a training camp in Mianwali, according to a press release issued by the Pakistan Tent-Pegging Association. Tent-pegging is an equestrian sport in which riders on horseback at full gallop try to lift a small peg from the ground with a lance.
The squad and its preparation
The five-member team is led by Wajahatullah Khan Awan. Its other members are Mahar Tassawar Abbas Lak, Nasir Abbas Gowance, Nigah Hussain and Mohammad Sagheer Zargar. The training camp in Mianwali was held under the supervision of coach Haroon Bandial.
Pakistan's record in the sport
Pakistan finished as runners-up at the 2023 World Cup, and the Pakistan Tent-Pegging Association links that result to a boost in the promotion and development of the sport in the country. The championship begins on November 11, so no results from the Jordan event are available yet.
