The 18-man roster has been chosen for the major match against Spain at 7 o’clock in the evening at Birsa Munda Stadium in Rourkela.

On January 15 and 19, 2023, India will square off with England and Wales.

According to many media sites quoted by coach Graham Reid, the national team is not entirely relying on Harmanpreet Singh for penalty corners.

In the most recent FIH Men’s Hockey World Cup 2018, India advanced to the quarterfinal round, and they will be hoping to do even better in the current tournament.

There will be 16 teams fighting against each other in 4 pools for the championship.

Overall, if you examine the results of several teams in the mega-event, Australia, Belgium, and the Netherlands are the most likely candidates to win the championship.
