India’s ‘A’ men’s hockey team will be coached by Sardar Singh

On Saturday, Hockey India announced a lineup of 33 players for the India ‘A’ Men’s and Women’s core probable groupings.

After being named on the Core Probables list, Ramandeep Singh, an accomplished forward, is also available for selection.
