The Indian men’s hockey team would look to continue its experimentation and test its bench strength ahead of a busy calendar year, despite suffering its second defeat in the tournament, when they take on Argentina in the two-legged FIH Pro League tie beginning here today.

The Indians slumped to their second defeat in the FIH Pro League, losing 3-5 to Spain in the second leg at the Kalinga Stadium on February 27. Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist India’s other defeat came against France (2-5) last month. But despite that, India are currently placed second in the standings with 12 points from six games.
