Vandana Returns as Indian Women Eye Fresh Start in FIH Pro League

January 27, 2024 | Author: News Desk

Smarting from the failure to make the Paris Olympics, a Savita Punia-led 24-member Indian women’s hockey team will look to make a fresh start in the upcoming FIH Pro League matches.

Savita will be assisted by Vandana Katariya, who returned to the side as vice-captain after recovering from a cheekbone fracture, which forced the senior striker to miss the Olympic Qualifiers in Ranchi earlier this month.

The Indian team endured a disappointing outing in Ranchi and failed to qualify for the Olympics after having made the cut in the last two editions.
