India’s men’s hockey team is entering an important phase, as it looks ahead to the 2028 Olympics. Experts say the team needs fresh talent to strengthen its chances. The year 2026 has a busy match schedule, which could be very helpful. Head coach Craig Fulton can use these matches to try new players and give young or lesser-known talent a chance to play at the international level.
This period of experimentation will allow the team to gradually bring in new players without disturbing the main squad. It will also help younger players gain experience and confidence by playing against strong teams. Coaches hope this will create a smooth transition, ensuring India has a strong and balanced squad for future tournaments. With the right mix of experienced players and fresh talent, the team can build momentum and aim for medals at the 2028 Olympics.
