    Hockey: 'I Have Never Had A Plan B...', Poovanna Eyes India Debut After Recovering From Serious Injury

    FIH Hockey Pro League: After a brief stint with the Indian junior team in 2023, Poovanna Chandura Boby is now training with the senior core group ahead of European leg of the FIH Hockey Pro League leg. The 22-year-old is currently part of the senior national camp at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) Centre in Bengaluru and has made it into the 40-member core group.

    With the junior team, Poovanna had a fruitful spell, winning the gold and bronze medals at the 2022 and 2023 Sultan of Johar Cup, respectively. He was also part of men’s Junior Asia Cup winning squad in 2023 and made it to the senior national camp in August 2024.

    About his experience training in the camp, Poovanna said, “I've played for junior team in 2023 and now training with the senior players, I see a lot of differences between them and us. There's a lot of work we need to put in to get to that level. It doesn't matter how fit you are, you need to get much better to compete against European teams. We are getting gassed out every session, but we need to push hard to keep up. It has been a brilliant journey so far.”
