World Series Hockey

India face Spain in a bid to build momentum for the 2018 Women's Hockey World Cup in London.

India may have lost the series but they have gained some crucial match practice ahead of the FIH World League Final starting later this week. Australia will start favourites in the tournament. Catch all the highlights of the match here.

India will take on Australia in a three-match series starting Thursday ahead of the Hockey World League Final from November 27 to December 6.

The Indian hockey team is slated for a three-match Test series against the mighty Australians from the November 19 to 23 in Rajnandgaon and Raipur in Chhattisgarh before starting their campaign for the World League final.

Of the 18-man squad, 14 were World Cup-winners just a year ago while 13 were part of the team that won the Commonwealth Games gold last August. The exception is the inclusion of 18-year-old forward Blake Govers, the brother of Olympic bronze medallist Kieran, who is selected following a series of impressive performances.

Besides the Asian Games gold in Incheon, South Korea, the men's hockey team registered several other memorable victories including a historic Test series win against world champions Australia in their own backyard.

Indian men's team had defeated Australia 3-1 in hockey test series last month. The team continued its form and won their practice match 2-0 against a slightly inexperienced Aussie side ahead of Champions Trophy.

Captain Rani Rampal feels Indian women will benefit from playing against Italy and can use the experience to perform strongly in World League Round 2.

Indian men's team returned home after a historic Test series win against world champions Australia. Skipper Sardar Singh feels the results will help India before the FIH Champions Trophy.

India achieved a rare bilateral Test series victory against World Champions Australia, in their backyard, and are now gearing up for the Champions Trophy which will be held in Bhuvaneshwar from December 6-14.

India beat Australia 3-1 Down Under to win a historic hockey Test series. The world champions were beaten 3-1.

Rupinder Pal Singh, who played his 100th international match, led India in the absence of regular skipper Sardar Singh as the Asian Gold medalists beat world champions Australia for the second successive time in the hockey Test series.

India started aggressively and kept the opponents' defence busy in the first two quarters. They managed to sneak into Australian defence-line and created good opportunities.

Gill said the discrimination in the selection of the Indian team for the London Olympics by deliberately keeping out the IHF-promoted World Series Hockey (WSH) players was solely responsible for the debacle at the quadrennial event.

The second edition of World Series Hockey, earlier proposed to start next month, has been rescheduled, the organisers said on Friday.
