Hockey News
At 2012 Olympic Qualification Tournament, New Delhi

Indian Team
Goalkeepers - Bharat Chetri (Captain), PR Sreejesh
Defenders - Sandeep Singh, VR Raghunath, Rupinderpal Singh
Midfielders - Sardar Singh (Vice-Captain), Manpreet Singh, Birendra Lakra, Ignace Tirkey, Kothajit Singh
Forwards - S V Sunil, Sarvanjit Singh, Shivendra Singh, Gurvinder Singh Chandi, Tushar Khandker, Danish Mujtaba, Yuvraj Walmiki, S K Uthappa

Standbys - Manjeet Kullu (Defender), VS Vinaya (Midfielder), Arjun Halappa (Midfielder), Chinglensana Singh (Forward)

Some bold decision taken by Indian Coach Nobbs and selection committee ... They dropped seniors like Rajpal Singh and added other seniors like Arjun Halappa and VS Vinaya in standby list ... Gurbaj is injured so he missed from the list ... Surprising selection of Ignace Tirkey, who will play international matches after long time ... Also interesting to see performance of new faces of the team, Kothajit Singh and S K Uthappa.
