A 36-member camp is a good step for building depth. However, I hope the coaching staff gives equal attention to all probables and not just the established stars. Player development should be the real focus ahead of the World Cup.

Excited to see young talents like Araijeet Singh Hundal and Uttam Singh in the forwards list. Our hockey future is bright! The midfield with Manpreet and Hardik is world-class. Best of luck for the camp in Bengaluru.

As a long-time follower of Indian hockey, this looks like a well-balanced squad. The emphasis on tactical cohesion is key. The Asian Games will be a huge test. Wishing the team all the very best!

Good selection overall. But I'm a bit surprised not to see a couple of other performers from the recent domestic tournaments. Hope the selection remains merit-based as we move closer to the big events. Jai Hind!

Solid goalkeeping unit with Pathak and Karkera. The conditioning camp in Bengaluru's SAI centre is perfect. This team has the potential to bring back more glory. Let's support our men in blue! 🏑
