India names 20-member squad for Hockey World Cup, Harmanpreet Singh to lead

India has announced a 20-member squad for the upcoming FIH Men's Hockey World Cup, with Harmanpreet Singh as captain. The team, selected from a 24-member Pro League squad, omits four players due to tournament size limits. India's recent Pro League campaign was disappointing, finishing eighth out of nine teams. The squad blends experienced players like Manpreet Singh with younger talent. India, who have not won a World Cup medal since 1975, are drawn in Pool D with England, Pakistan, and Wales. Their campaign begins on August 15 against Wales, with the marquee clash against Pakistan on August 19. Chief coach Craig Fulton expressed confidence in the balanced squad and the team's tactical identity.
