Rohit To Lead India In Men's Jr Hockey World Cup; Striker Araijeet Hundal Ruled Out
Junior World Cup Tamil Nadu: Defender and dragflicker Rohit, who had a good show in the recent Sultan of Johor Cup in Malaysia where the team won a silver medal, will be leading the team in the FIH Men’s Junior World Cup Tamil Nadu 2025, set to begin from November 28 to December 10 in Chennai and Madurai.
Unfortunately, India will miss the experience of Araijeet Singh Hundal, who is nursing a shoulder injury and will miss the Junior World Cup.
Speaking about the team composition, coach Sreejesh said, "We have selected a tried-and-tested team with most of the players having a fair knowledge on what’s required to play in a tournament of this magnitude. While their physical capabilities, skill and team-play was among the criteria for selection, one of the key aspects we have looked into is their mental ability to perform under pressure."
