Talking about the importance of the upcoming camp, Indian Men’s Hockey Team Chief Coach Craig Fulton said, “We are looking to begin an important block of training in this camp, and we need to make sure that we are in the best shape possible ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympics.
We have an exciting group of experienced players along with some young players. The tour to Australia has helped us in realising where we need to work on and I always believe that we can work on our shortcomings and look to set things straight well before the final leg of the Pro League and the Paris 2024 Olympics.”
