The Indian men's hockey team will return to top-level international competition after more than a year when it takes on Olympic champions Argentina in the first match of the two-game FIH Pro League tie here on Saturday.
After being stuck at their base at the Sports Authority of India, Bangalore centre for the entire last year during the COVID-19 outbreak, the Indians will finally get to play high-intensity international matches.
India beat Argentina 4-3 and drew 4-4 against them in two practice matches recebtly. And captain Manpreet Singh is confident of a good show today. "We are working hard to be more compact at the back and more ruthless going forward," he said.
