Two-time Olympic Games medallist in hockey Gurbux Singh has said that both the men's and women's teams should now prioritise winning the Asian Games gold in order to secure automatic qualification for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Gurbux, who was a member of the team that won gold in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and followed up by jointly leading the side to bronze at the 1968 Mexico Olympics, said that the team had made everyone "proud and happy" after winning an Olympic medal after a gap of 41 years.
