At Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2019, Malaysia
Goalkeepers: P R Sreejesh, Krishan B Pathak
Defenders: Gurinder Singh, Surender Kumar (Vice-captain), Varun Kumar, Birendra Lakra, Amit Rohidas, Kothajit Singh Khadangbam
Midfielders: Hardik Singh, Nilakanta Sharma, Sumit, Vivek Sagar Prasad, Manpreet Singh (Captain)
Forwards: Mandeep Singh, Simranjeet Singh, Gurjant Singh, Shilanand Lakra, Sumit Kumar.
The Indian team is still searching for a fulltime coach but for the Sultan Azlan Shah cup, we are struggling with the fitness of our regulars ... We are without our main forward, the best drag-flicker and one of our key midfielders. And, of course without a coach ... Harmanpreet Singh and veteran SV Sunil are carrying minor niggles and Lalit Upadhyay and Akashdeep Singh, along with junior team members Vishal Antil and Pardeep Singh, too weren’t considered for selection ... Also, as per the report, India’s troubles do not end there ... The team will have to play the first two matches with one player less since Akashdeep was suspended for two matches by the IHF for his behavior after India’s quarterfinal defeat against the Netherlands in the World Cup ... The suspension will be enforced even though Akashdeep will be absent owing to injury.
