The 60-player core group has been shortlisted following the performances at the recently concluded Senior Women’s National Championship in Pune. These players will now be closely monitored as they vie for a spot in the final 33-member core probables for the Indian women’s team.

The players will report to women’s hockey team coach Ankitha B.S. until such time that a suitable Chief Coach is appointed.

“The 14th Hockey India Senior Women National Championship proved to be a gold mine. We have picked out the best performers from the teams in the National Championship, irrespective of prior involvement in the national setup,” Hockey India High-Performance Director Herman Kruis said.

“Now we have a good mixture of players who have been around the National Team and players who displayed immense potential. The objective going ahead is to pick the best 33 players for the Indian women’s hockey team core probables,” he added.
