“After the last camp in which we were able to establish our baseline for the needed physical output and addressed individual improvements, we’re looking to improve our team structure and tactics. Playing Australia in Australia at the end of this camp will help us assess where we are compared to the top of women’s hockey,” said Indian Women’s Hockey Team Chief Coach Janneke Schopman.
#RaniRampal does not find a place in the 33-member core probables list who have been called for the national camp ahead of Australia tour.
Is she injured? Dropped? No explanation yet why she doesn’t find a spot in the core probables. Eight forwards named. https://t.co/WrkaXSt7Go
