the government for this tour was to cover airfare cost of the team but in the sanction given by SAI, it was clearly mentioned that government will not cover any cost. The government had, on earlier occasions, borne the air travel expenses.
India, who won the Azlan Shah Cup five times (1985, 1991, 1995, 2009, 2010), were the bronze medallist in the last edition of the tournament.
Keeping in mind the FIH Junior World Cup, to be held in the country later this year, India had opted to field a young, new-look squad under Danish Mujataba for this year's Azlan Shah Cup.
Apart from India, the other participating nations in the tournament are arch-rivals Pakistan, Australia, South Korea, New Zealand and hosts Malaysia.
