    Kempegowda International Airport: The Indian women's hockey team departed for Argentina on Thursday evening to play a four-match series against the Argentine women's hockey team in Buenos Aires from April 13 to 17.

    The team left from Kempegowda International Airport, but will miss regular captain Salima Tete, who could not travel due to illness. In her absence, experienced forward Navneet Kaur has been named stand-in captain for the tour.

    The Argentina series is an important step in India’s preparations for a busy international season ahead, which includes major events like the FIH Women's Hockey World Cup and the Asian Games. The matches are expected to provide valuable exposure and help the team test combinations against a strong opponent.
