Live streaming Women's Hockey World Cup 2022: India squad, full Schedule, match timings and more

Indian women’s hockey team will aim for their maiden global title when they start their World Cup 2022 campaign on 3 July against England. The FIH Women's Hockey World Cup 2022 will be played in Spain and the Netherlands from 1 to 18 July.

India made it to the quarter-finals in the last edition in 2018 and their best performance was a fourth-place finish in 1974. The Indian team will be without star player Rani Rampal, who led the side to a historic fourth-place finish at the Tokyo Olympics 2020, as she has failed to regain full fitness after suffering a hamstring injury. Savita Punia will captain India at the World Cup.
