New Delhi: Hockey players in India are used to hectic activity in the fag end of the year. This has been the routine in the domestic seasons with leading tournaments being held in this period. However, since 2010 India hosted world’s best tournaments too in this spell. These include Men’s World Cup in 2018, FIH Hockey World League Final 2017, FIH Junior Men’s World Cup in 2016, FIH Hockey World League Final 2015, and the FIH Champions Trophy in 2014. Naturally therefore players are nostalgic as they had to sit out, camp out, this year due to COVID-19 disturbances.
