Hockey India has announced a 33-member Indian women’s probable group for a two-month long training camp at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) center in Bengaluru, starting on Monday. This camp comes after the Indian team went on a short break following a challenging FIH Pro League season in London and Antwerp.
During the Pro League season, India faced defeats against Belgium and Argentina in Antwerp and lost to Germany and Great Britain in London. Despite the losses, Chief coach Harendra Singh expressed optimism about the team’s future.
“We recently travelled to Antwerp and London for the Europe leg of the Pro League, and while the results were not in our favour, we learned a lot as a team,” Singh said in a release. “On several occasions, we were leading, and we proactively searched and threatened to score while looking for an equalizer. These are good signs to have in the initial stages of a rebuild, and I am sure the Indian Women’s Hockey Team will be a force to be reckoned with in the future.”
The training camp will conclude on August 31st, and it is expected to be crucial in preparing the team for future challenges and competitions.
