We start the national coaching camp with 25 players who have been selected to compete for the final 16 spots in the Olympic team," Marijne said."Because the group is smaller now, we can raise the quality of training even more in the upcoming 17 days before we head to New Zealand to play four matches against the hosts and one match against Great Britain," he added.Last year India produced some outstanding performances across tournaments as they won the FIH Women's Series Finals Hiroshima, Tokyo 2020 Olympic Test Event in Japan, and the Olympic qualifiers, along with victories in their tours of Spain, Malaysia, Republic of Korea and England.List of probablesGoalkeepers: Savita, Rajani Etimarpu, Bichu Devi KharibamDefenders: Deep Grace Ekka, Reena Khokhar, Salima Tete, Manpreet Kaur, Gurjit Kaur, and Nisha.
