Hockey India on Monday named the 24-member Indian men’s hockey team for the four-match Tour of Australia from 15th August to 21st August in Perth. This will be an exposure tour ahead of the all-important Asia Cup in Rajgir from 29th August which is a World Cup Qualifier. The Indian team will be led by ace dragflicker, defender Harmanpreet Singh and will feature Krishan Pathak and Suraj Karkera as goalkeepers.

Pakistani legendary Dragflicker and Malaysia Assistant coach Sohail Abbas decided to travel with the Hockey Asian Cup in Rajgiru in Bihar, which will take place from August 29 to September 7. Abbas said that his decision would not come to a tournament that would teach with Pakistan to pull out of the competition. The Asia Cup offers a direct qualification for the next year's World Cup, scheduled for the Netherlands and Belgium.
