Suman Vows To Make Most Of Opportunity After Return To Indian Women's Hockey Team
Speaking on her return, Suman said, "I'm thrilled to be making a comeback to the Indian squad.

My last outing with the senior team was three years ago in Bhubaneswar, where I played a Pro League match against the Netherlands in the year 2022."
When asked about her being dropped from the core team and the three-year hiatus, the 25-year-old defender asserted that she never gave up on hockey and was determined to improve and earn her spot back in the national team. "I collaborated with the coaches to further enhance my defensive skills, tackling, and man-to-man marking abilities in Sports Authority of India’s (SAI) NCOE Delhi. Over the past three years, I've focused on developing these skills to earn my place back in the national squad."
