Harmanpreet Singh returned as India captain as Hockey India announced a 24-member squad for the European leg of the FIH Pro League 2025-26 on Wednesday.
Harmanpreet had taken a break for personal reasons during the Hobart leg of the Pro League in February.
India will travel to Brussels, Belgium, for preparatory training and a friendly match from June 7 to 9, 2026. The squad will then settle in Rotterdam, Netherlands, for the Pro League matches against Germany and the Netherlands scheduled between June 14 and 21, 2026.
The contingent will thereafter fly to London to face Pakistan and England in the Pro League from June 23 to 28, 2026.
“Training has been going really well, and the squad is in great shape. The FIH Pro League matches in Holland and England in June are exactly what we need — tough tests against world-class opposition that will tell us exactly where we stand in our World Cup preparations. We are looking forward to the challenge,” chief coach Craig Fulton said.
