Hockey India Announces 33-Member Indian Women’s Team For National Coaching Camp

Hockey India has unveiled the 33-member squad of the Indian women’s hockey team that will train at the national women’s coaching camp from 1 July to 31 August at SAI Bengaluru.

The team recently concluded their FIH Hockey Pro League 2023/24 season in London and Antwerp and took a short break before resuming training.

Led by captain Salima Tete and vice-captain Navneet Kaur, the team demonstrated competitive performances against Argentina, Belgium, Germany, and Great Britain in the FIH Pro League.

Under the guidance of chief coach Harendra Singh, the squad displayed occasional brilliance, suggesting promising potential.

The selected squad includes goalkeepers Savita, Bichu Devi Kharibam, Bansari Solanki, and Madhuri Kindo.

The defenders are Nikki Pradhan, Udita, Ishika Chaudhary, Monika, Ropni Kumari, Mahima Choudhary, Jyoti Chhatri, and Preeti.

In the midfield, the team features Salima Tete, Marina Lalramnghaki, Vaishnavi Vitthal Phalke, Neha, Jyoti, Edula Jyoti, Baljeet Kaur, Manisha Chauhan, Akshata Abaso Dhekale, and Ajmina Kujur.

The forwards included in the squad are Sunelita Toppo, Mumtaz Khan, Lalremsiami, Sangita Kumari, Deepika, Sharmila Devi, Navneet Kaur, Deepika Soreng, Preeti Dubey, Vandana Katariya, Rutuja Dadaso Pisal.

Reflecting on the team’s progress, chief coach Harendra Singh commented, “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. 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, he further stated.
