Astro turfs kinda killed Asian Hockey & both India and Pak were affected.Yeah but Pakistan is also a super poor country which is not really getting richer so they can't really utilize the full 250 million.
India and Bangladesh have become better relative to what they were simply cause they are richer countries now with better systems comaped to earlier.
If some other first world country picks up cricket, they can slide further. Maybe USA where desis are like 1-2% of the population (and rising)? US desis along with some Caribbean diaspora and some mercenaries can become a decent force.
Pak were a top team in field hockey but kept falling further as other countries kept coming up and now they don't even play World Cups/Olympics etc.
India have recovered very well & now are among Top 3-4 field hockey sides as for Pakistan it is has been steep unending decline
