‘We want to win Asian Games, stand on WC podium’

In a recent interview, India's hockey coach Craig Fulton emphasized the importance of focusing on writing their own chapter in World Cup history rather than being overshadowed by the recent past. The 51-year wait for India's last men's hockey World Cup victory weighed on his mind during training camp. However, Fulton highlighted the unusual complication of the upcoming Asian Games, which serve as a gateway to direct qualification for the Olympic Games, starting just three weeks after the World Cup.

Both tournaments present significant challenges, but Fulton insisted that India would tackle them one game at a time, emphasizing the team's focus on executing their plans.
