Forget the Commonwealth Games; that chapter is over. And after much din over player selection, tactics and unnecessary attitude, Indian hockey has taken a step forward with a team that reflects the mindset of the new coach Harendra Singh. It’s been relatively quiet since he took over, but in the options process where former captain and midfielder Sardar Singh makes a comeback; two notable inclusions are Birendra Lakra and Surender Kumar. The other conspicuous omissions are Rupinder Pal Singh, reserve goalkeeper Suraj Karkera, Gurjant Singh, Kothajit Singh, Sumit and Lalit Upadhyay.
