This 54-member squad will undergo a week-long camp from 25th to 30th April, after which it will be trimmed down to a 40-player group for the next phase of the camp, scheduled from 1st May to 25th May.
Talking about the focus of the upcoming camp, Indian Men’s Hockey Team Head Coach Craig Fulton said, “The main aim of this camp is to get everyone back on the field, back in the gym, and moving again. We’ve had a short break since the nationals, so it’s about getting back to the basics. We have a mix of senior players, reserves, and some exciting new faces. This camp is a chance to trial the new players while also assessing where our senior and reserve players stand. We’ll gradually build up to playing internal matches in a few days.”
“Fitness will be a key focus, especially with the final leg of the Pro League coming up in June. This camp is going to be intense—not just physically but across all areas of the game. We’re looking at fitness, gameplay, and sharpening overall preparedness,” he added.
Speaking on the role of junior and new players in this camp, Fulton said, “There’s definitely a focus on identifying and developing younger talent. This camp gives us a closer look at some promising junior and new players. At the same time, we’re also focusing on reinforcing structure and consistency among our senior group. It’s about blending experience with potential and preparing everyone for the road ahead.”
