Harmanpreet said that Australia tour is a good opportunity to assess yourself before the World Cup

Indian hockey team captain and veteran drag-flicker Harmanpreet Singh says the Australia tour is a good opportunity for the team to assess its strengths and weaknesses ahead of the FIH World Cup to be held in Odisha in January. A 23-member Indian team left for Australia on Saturday for a five-match series. The World Cup will be played in Bhubaneswar and Rourkela from January 13 to 29 next year. Harmanpreet said, “This is a good opportunity for us to test ourselves. We will know where we are before the World Cup. “He said,” Australia are among the title contenders and playing against them will definitely help. We haven’t been to Australia since the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. We are thrilled to play in Australia. The Indian team will play matches on November 30, December 3 and 4 after 26 and 27 November.
