India Women's Hockey Team Prepares for World Cup and Asian Games After Nations Cup WinPreviousNext

India's women's hockey team, under coach Sjoerd Marijne, won the FIH Nations Cup, securing promotion to the FIH Pro League. Marijne emphasized improving field goal conversion and maintaining defensive discipline ahead of the upcoming World Cup and Asian Games, the latter being an Olympic qualifier. The team is likely to field a consistent squad for both events. Senior players' mentorship and mental conditioning have been key, while drag-flicker Deepika Sehrawat made a strong comeback after injury, boosting team confidence.
