Sultan Azlan Shah Cup: Ahead of the upcoming Hockey India League season, Kalinga Lancers announced on Saturday the appointment of India’s Sanjay and Belgium stalwart Arthur Van Doren as co-captains of the team.

The HIL 2026 will be held from January 3 to 26, 2026, across Chennai, Ranchi and Bhubaneswar. Kalinga Lancers will begin their HIL 2026 campaign against Ranchi Royals on January 4, 2026, in Chennai.

India drag-flicker Sanjay recently led the national team to a runners-up finish, while Van Doren captained Belgium to the title at the 31st Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in November 2025, underscoring the leadership pedigree both players bring to Kalinga Lancers into the new season.
