Lakra doubtful for Rio Olympics |
33 players list for upcoming Sultan Azlan Cup and proposed European tour has
been announced and Gurbaj Singh who has axed from the team due to disciplinary
issue has once again been left out of the probable list. Interestingly, Captain
Sardar Singh who has been facing allegations of sexual harassment has been
included in the player list for training camp.
Defender Birendra Lakra who suffered ligament
rupture in his right
knee during Hockey India League was also included in the squad despite
undergoing surgery on March 3 which will keep him out of squad for Sultan Azlan
Shah and proposed European tour. The ACL reconstruction surgery will keep him
out of the squad for quite some time and might even miss the Rio Olympics.

Sultan Azlan Shah Cup on March 7 which will end on April 8 in Bangalore while
