On Sunday, Hockey India released a 33-member core probables list for the junior women's national coaching camp, which will begin at the Sports Authority of India on Monday. The camp has been arranged to prepare for a tour of Australia where India will play a tri-nations tournament in December.

The junior women players are expected to report to coach Baljeet Singh Saini for the camp that will last nearly a month long. After its completion on October 26, India will fly Down Under to play a Three-Nations Tournament starting 3 December, where they will face the hosts and their neighbours New Zealand.

"I expect those matches to be tough and it will be a good exposure tournament for the athletes. Our aim will be to up our fitness levels with a lot of emphasis on speed and the team needs to be able to keep up with the high-intensity hockey the Australians and New Zealanders play," Saini told PTI.

"I would be expecting every player to give their 100 per cent in each session. They will be watched closely and if they intend to make the squad then they need to show improvement in every aspect of the game. I am quite pleased with the talent coming up and each passing year there is at least one player from junior ranks making their senior team debut so in that sense the performance at the 3-nation tournament will be important," Saini added.
