The
Indian
team,
who
ended
their
campaign
with
a
Silver
medal
in
2019
edition
after
a
closely-fought
match
against
Great
Britain,
will
open
their
campaign
this
time
in
the
tournament
against
the
hosts
Malaysia
on
(Oct.
22nd).
The
Indian
Colts
will
also
face
off
against
Australia,
Japan,
South
Africa,
and
defending
Champions
Great
Britain
in
this
year’s
edition
which
is
set
to
take
place
after
three
years.
Speaking
on
the
upcoming
campaign,
young
forward
Uttam
Singh,
who
will
be
leading
the
troops
in
the
tournament,
said,
“The
prestigious
tournament
is
returning
after
three
years
due
to
the
pandemic.
Our
team
is
excited
to
compete
against
some
of
the
strong
teams
that
will
be
participating
in
the
contest.
It
will
be
a
good
chance
for
us
to
test
our
squad
and
to
grow
as
a
unit.”
The
Indian
skipper
further
insisted
that
India
will
look
to
improve
upon
their
Silver-medal
winner
campaign
from
the
last
time
around.
“We
have
held
several
discussions
at
the
training
camp
and
we
are
confident
that
we
have
enough
talent
in
our
squad
which
can
win
the
title.
But
we
will
not
take
any
team
lightly
and
play
as
per
the
situation
in
the
match.
We
will
have
to
attack
well
when
in
possession
but
also
be
ready
to
defend
in
an
instant,”
Uttam
Singh
said.
The
Indian
Men’s
