Hockey enthusiasts rejoice as Hockey India declares a powerful 24-member squad for the FIH Men’s Pro League 2025-26 Hobart leg, captained by Olympic hero Hardik Singh. The tournament segment runs February 20-25 at Tasmania Hockey Centre, featuring India versus Australia and Spain.
Post-Rourkela’s battles with Belgium and Argentina, attention turns to Hobart where veterans mingle with rookies like Amandeep Lakra and Manmeet Singh. Harmanpreet Singh’s unavailability due to personal issues opens doors for fresh energy.
Suraj Karkera and Mohit Honnenhalli Shashikumar guard the goal. A robust defense includes Amit Rohidas, Jarmanpreet Singh, Jugraj Singh, Sanjay, Sumit, Amandeep Lakra, Yashdeep Siwach, and Poovanna Chandura Bobby, ready to thwart attacks.
Midfield engines Hardik Singh, Sanjay, Vivek Sagar Prasad, Raj Kumar Pal, alongside Rajinder Singh, Manmeet Singh, Moirangthem Rabichandra Singh, and Vishnu Kant Singh, ensure seamless transitions. The forward arsenal, spearheaded by Mandeep Singh, Abhishek, Shilanand Lakra, features returnee Angad Bir Singh, plus Arjunjit Singh Hundal, Aditya Arjun Lalage, and Maninder Singh for lethal finishes.
India’s Hobart expedition under Hardik signals ambition in the Pro League. Blending wisdom with youthful flair, this team could script a triumphant chapter, captivating fans worldwide with skillful displays.
