FIH Pro League hockey, India vs Argentina LIVE: Harmanpreet Singh and Co back in action as they step up Paris prep

Both the Indian hockey teams will face Argentina in the FIH Pro League today.

FIH Pro League hockey, India vs Argentina LIVE: India’s men and women’s hockey teams are back in action as the European leg of FIH Pro League begins. For India men’s hockey team, this marks a significant block in their preparation for Paris 2024 Olympic Games and Harmanpreet Singh will be leading the side once again.

Harmanpreet and Co are back in action after a 0-5 Test series defeat in Australia, a tour that would have given head coach Craig Fulton some serious pointers on where the team can improve. Fulton is getting close to finalising his squad for Paris 2024 and there’d be a few players looking to impress and make the cut.

Craig Fulton’s plan for India to peak at Paris Olympics began at the Table Mountain, next stop Australia

Before they climb the proverbial mountains in the coming months, starting by taking on Australia in Australia from April 6, India’s hockey team scaled an actual one. In Cape Town, last January.

The journey to the top of Table Mountain wasn’t just supposed to be a scenic hike with a group photo at the summit. It turned out to be a lesson in philosophy and goals were set.

“On the top of Table Mountain, we had a really good talk about what we’re trying to achieve this year. And relating it back to a journey of obviously getting to the summit and then obviously descending and doing everything together,” India coach Craig Fulton tells The Indian Express.
