Bichu Devi Kharibam: Hockey India on Wednesday announced a 40-member core group for the ongoing senior women’s national coaching Camp at SAI.

The camp, which began on March 23, initially featured 65 probables. Based on their performances over the past two weeks, the group has now been trimmed to 40 players.

While 28 players from the existing core group have retained their spots, 12 new players have been selected from outside the core group in recognition of their impressive performances in the 15th Senior Women’s National Championship and their efforts in the initial national training camp, Hockey India said in a release.
