The Pakistan table tennis team which is to participate in the World Championship was on Wednesday asked by the Germany embassy to produce permission letter of the Pakistan Sports Board. The 2012 World Team Table Tennis Championships will be held at the Westfalenhallen in Dortmund, Germany from March 25 to April 1.
