    World Cup Qualifier Hyderabad Telangana: Indian Women’s Hockey Team’s star forward Navneet Kaur believes modern-day hockey demands more from attacking players, highlighting the importance of defensive contribution even for strikers as the team continues preparations at the ongoing national camp ahead of the FIH Hockey Women's World Cup Qualifier in Hyderabad, Telangana.

    “In today’s hockey, attacking alone is not enough. As a striker, defensive skills are also very important. I am focusing on tackling and applying pressure without the ball, because winning the ball back is a big advantage for the team,” she opined.

    While highlighting her personal focus, Navneet reiterated that the team’s primary objective remains qualification for the 2026 Women’s FIH Hockey World Cup. “Our goal is very clear. We want to qualify for the World Cup and give our best performance in the qualifiers,” she remarked.
