Hockey India names 33-member core group for senior men's national coaching camp
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], July 10 (ANI): Hockey India on Thursday named a 33-member core probable group for the Senior Men's National Coaching Camp, which will take place at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) Centre in Bengaluru from July 14 to August 7. The upcoming camp is a crucial preparatory phase for the Indian team as they gear up for two major international assignments--the Australia tour and the all-important Asia Cup Rajgir, Bihar 2025, scheduled to take place from August 29 to September 7. The winner of the Asia Cup will earn direct qualification for the International Hockey Federation (FIH) Hockey Men's World Cup 2026. Despite a disappointing FIH Hockey Pro League 2024/25 campaign in Europe, where India secured just one win from eight matches and finished eighth in the league, the coaching staff remains focused on rebuilding momentum and addressing key areas ahead of the upcoming tournaments. The goalkeeping unit remains unchanged with Krishan B Pathak, Suraj Karkera, Pawan, and Mohith Honnenahalli Shashikumar continuing their roles between the posts. India's defensive line will be marshalled by Sumit, Amit Rohidas, Jugraj Singh, Nilam Sanjeep Xess, Amandeep Lakra, Harmanpreet Singh, Jarmanpreet Singh, Sanjay, and Yashdeep Siwach. The midfield features a balance of youth and experience, comprising Raj Kumar Pal, Nilakanta Sharma, Hardik Singh, Moirangthem Rabichandra Singh, Poovanna Chandura Boby, Rajinder Singh, Vishnu Kant Singh, Manpreet Singh, Vivek Sagar Prasad, and Shamsher Singh. The forward line has plenty of firepower with Gurjant Singh, Abhishek, Shilanand Lakra, Aditya Arjun Lalage, Selvam Karthi, Mandeep Singh, Dilpreet Singh, Sukhjeet Singh, Uttam Singh, and Angad Bir Singh all being part of the camp. Speaking ahead of the camp, Indian Men's Hockey Team Chief Coach Craig Fulton said, 'Reflecting on our Pro League matches in Europe, we felt the squad competed well in every game, but we didn't finish strong -- something we had done effectively in Bhubaneswar. That's an area we know we need to improve.' 'Our objectives for this next training camp are clear -- to keep building on our 'defend to counter to win' approach. There's still work to be done, but it's an exciting time as we prepare for the Asia Cup in Bihar. Winning that tournament would mean direct qualification for the World Cup, and that's a big motivation for all of us,' he added. 33-member list for the Senior Men's Camp GOALKEEPERS Krishan B PathakSuraj KarkeraPawan Mohith H S DEFENDERS SumitAmit RohidasJugraj SinghNilam Sanjeep XessHarmanpreet SinghJarmanpreet SinghSanjayYashdeep SiwachAmandeep Lakra MIDFIELDERS Raj Kumar PalNilakanta SharmaHardik SinghRajinder SinghManpreet SinghVivek Sagar PrasadShamsher SinghMoirangthem Rabichandra Singh Poovanna CB Vishnukant Singh FORWARDS Gurjant SinghAbhishekShilanand LakraMandeep SinghDilpreet SinghSukhjeet SinghAditya Arjun Lagage Selvam Karthi Uttam Singh Angad Bir Singh.

India A men's hockey team secures second win on Europe tour with 6-0 vcitory over Ireland
The India A men's hockey team continued its impressive run in the second match of the ongoing Europe tour, securing a convincing 6-0 victory over Ireland. Uttam Singh once again opened the scoring for the India A Team, followed by captain Sanjay. Midfielder Mohammed Raheel Mouseen then scored impressive back-to-back goals, followed by a goal each by Amandeep Lakra and Varun Kumar as India A secured their second win for the country, blanking out Ireland 6-0. Soon after the match, coach Shivendra Singh said, "We've had two really good matches against Ireland, and I'm happy with how the players are shaping up. We'll play the French team next and hopefully deliver an equally impressive performance." On Tuesday, India kickstarted their tour of Europe with a dominant 6-1 victory over Ireland at the Hockey Club Oranje-Rood. Uttam Singh opened the scoring for the men in blue and Amandeep Lakra later extended their lead. This was followed by an impressive brace by Aditya Lalage as he scored back-to-back goals. Forwards Selvam Karthi and Boby Singh Dhami too scored a goal each to feature on the scoresheet. Ireland could only manage to score a consolation goal as India ensured they are tight with their defending. India will next play against France, England, Belgium and hosts, the Netherlands, for the next two weeks. These matches are to test the depth and readiness of players as the national setup looks to build a stronger talent pool for the Indian senior team. With this tour, Hockey India aims to bolster the talent pool for the Indian men's national team and provide international match time to the next generation of Indian hockey stars.
