Hockey India named a 39-member squad for the Men's National Coaching Camp on Wednesday, January 3. The camp is scheduled at the Sports Authority of India (SAI), Bengaluru.
A four-nation tournament will follow the 11-day Men's National Coaching Camp in Cape Town, South Africa. The tournament will involve hosts South Africa, France, the Netherlands, and the Indian men's hockey team.
Speaking about the upcoming camp, the Indian men's hockey team chief coach Craig Fulton was quoted as saying to Hockey India in a press release:
“I believe the players are returning fresh from a good break with their families for the holiday season. We begin the hockey season for the year with the South Africa Tour and from here on it will only get busier with regular games leading up to the Paris Olympics. Our core group is quite solid with experienced players and some of them named in this group will also be playing the FIH Hockey5s World Cup in Muscat, Oman.”
He added:
“As always, this camp too will be focused on getting better as a team and we are eager to get on with the season.”
