Indian women's hockey team, led by skipper Salima Tete, is set to compete in the FIH Pro League, viewing it as a significant opportunity to improve. With matches against England, Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands, the focus remains on refining skills rather than the results under the guidance of coach Harendra Singh.

As the Indian women's hockey team prepares for its FIH Pro League opener against England this Saturday, skipper Salima Tete emphasizes the importance of focusing on performance over outcomes. For the team, this competition represents a critical opportunity to fine-tune their skills and address strategic challenges.

India's campaign involves facing off against England, Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands during the domestic leg of the tournament. Salima asserts that the squad's priority is playing their best hockey, with numerous players participating in the league for the first time since the Olympics.

Chief coach Harendra Singh, who rejoined the team in April last year, is credited with fostering strong team culture and communication. Salima highlights the improved team dynamics and mutual understanding with the coach, which they believe will be crucial in achieving success in their Pro League journey.
