Suman Devi Thoudam: Suman Devi Thoudam, who last played for India back in the year 2022, recently made a remarkable return to the Indian women's hockey team after a gap of three years as she made it to the squad, which is set to play in the upcoming European leg of the FIH Pro League 2025.

Speaking on her return, Suman said, "I'm thrilled to be making a comeback to the Indian squad. I first joined the national camp in 2016 and played for both the junior and senior national teams for a few years. My last outing with the senior team was three years ago in Bhubaneswar, where I played a Pro League match against the Netherlands in the year 2022."

When asked about her being dropped from the core team and the three-year hiatus, the 25-year-old defender asserted that she never gave up on hockey and was determined to improve and earn her spot back in the national team. "I collaborated with the coaches to further enhance my defensive skills, tackling, and man-to-man marking abilities in Sports Authority of India’s (SAI) NCOE Delhi. Over the past three years, I've focused on developing these skills to earn my place back in the national squad."
