Former India captain and goalkeeper PR Sreejesh feels that the FIH Pro League was a good wake-up call for the men's national team ahead of the upcoming Asian Games and the World Cup.

Recently, India finished in eighth place out of nine spots in the European leg of the FIH Pro League. Reflecting on his former side's performance in the concluded league, Sreejesh feels that the players performed well, but losing is a part of the sport, and it keeps happening.

"I think the players performed really well, we created lot of opportunities. We gave very good fight on the field but sometimes it happens the result went against us," Sreejesh said on the sidelines of the launch of Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon.
