the turnaround of phillipines was mainly due to <b>allowance of filipino origin players to represent their country</b> by their govt., their half of the team is foreign based players who are of filipino origin, sadly <b>indian govt does not allow PIO</b> to represent india in any sport...... even pakistan has 8 pakistani origin players in their ranks.... i can only imagine how indian squad would have looked with the likes of micheal chopra and others joining us..... :-(<br>
