What is the national game of Pakistan?

National games often reflect a country's cultural heritage, historical achievements, or widespread popularity in a particular sport.

• The correct option, Hockey (specifically field hockey), is officially recognized as the national game of Pakistan. Pakistan has a rich history in field hockey, having won multiple Olympic gold medals and World Cups, making it a source of national pride.
• Option A, "Cricket," while immensely popular in Pakistan and a major sport, is not officially designated as the national game.
• Option B, "Football," has a growing following but is not the national sport.
• Option D, "Squash," has produced world champions from Pakistan but is also not the national game.

Field hockey's historical success firmly establishes its status as Pakistan's national game.
