Indian Junior Women's Hockey Team Gears Up for Australian Tour

The Indian junior women's hockey team is poised for an exhilarating five-match series in Australia, set to unfold at Canberra's National Hockey Centre from September 26 to October 2, 2025. Scheduled games on September 26, 27, 29, 30, and October 2 pit them against Australia's junior women and Canberra Chill.

Playing against Australia's swift and physical juniors presents a valuable opportunity for the Indian team to challenge themselves and gain international match experience.

Looking forward to the tour, Coach Tushar Khandker emphasized the importance of the series, underscoring it as a prime opportunity to refine skills and strategic execution under match pressure. Supported by Hockey India and significant backers like Anandana - The Coca-Cola India Foundation, this tour paves the way for enhancing grassroots and junior hockey levels in India.
