Indian Women's Hockey Team Gears Up for Intense Training Camp

Hockey India on Saturday announced a 33-member squad for the Indian women's two-month training camp, which will begin at the SAI center on Monday.

Fresh from a break following a series of losses in the FIH Hockey Pro League matches in London and Antwerp, the Indian team is focusing on a rebuild. The squad suffered four defeats against Belgium and Argentina in Antwerp and losses to Germany (1-3) and Great Britain (2-3) in London.
