International Hockey Federation (FIH) Athletes' Committee comprises a total of eight current and former hockey players who have the responsibility of acting as a bridge between the sport's governing body and the athletes to ensure the players' opinions are heard in the FIH decision-making process.

Sreejesh's chief role will be to seek and provide feedback to the FIH on behalf of all athletes after interacting with them in a number of ways such as surveys for the athletes and coaches after each FIH event. The committee will also need to liaise with the Athletes' Committee of the IOC and other sporting organisations to enable the sharing of information and research.

"We get to work together to develop the game and put forth players concerns and suggestions. It's a great initiative by the FIH to directly involve the players and I look forward to giving my suggestions with the inputs of our coaching staff, my team who I am sure will support me in this new endeavor. I see this as a great responsibility in terms of helping FIH develop the game globally," said Sreejesh.

The team of eight will also get to develop, collate, provide and promote resources for athletes on topics of direct concern including athlete health and welfare, career preparation and management, anti-doping, betting and match-fixing.
