Manpreet Singh’s return as captain of the 18-member side for the Commonwealth Games games could see India recreate the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games magic, where they won bronze after a gap of more than four decades.

NNIS Team spoke to Manpreet Singh while he was practising for Commonwealth Games at SAI, Bengaluru where he said. “Tokyo Olympics is the past and now we are moving on as you know Commonwealth Games are coming and next year World Cup and Asian Games. Obviously we want to win medal on these tournaments and we are working very hard.”

In their previous outing at the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, India suffered disappointment finishing fourth. However, after an impressive outing in the FIH Pro League this year, the Indian team is poised to achieve success in Birmingham.
