The Indian Men’s Hockey Team on Saturday left for England for the XXII edition of Commonwealth Games (CWG) 2022. The mega event will be held in Birmingham from 28 July 2022 to 8 August 2022.

The Indian Men’s Hockey Team, led by Manpreet Singh, is placed in Pool B at the Commonwealth Games along with England, Canada, Wales, and Ghana. The Indian Team will kick off their campaign against Ghana on Sunday, 31 July 2022. 

Captain Manpreet Singh spoke about his team’s excitement for the impending tournament ahead of their departure, saying that they will be aiming for a podium finish at the Commonwealth Games. 

“We are quite excited about this event as we have been training for this competition for quite some time now, and we are looking forward to putting on our best show against some of the best teams in the world. Having worked on our strengths and weaknesses in the last few months, we will do whatever it takes to win a medal here” Manpreet Singh said.
