Bhubaneswar, Jan 21 (Ians) Ahead of their Crossover stage match against New Zealand in the Fih Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup, India coach Reid Graham on Saturday backed skillful Rajkumar Pal, who has come as a replacement player of injured Hardik Singh, to perform well and called him one of the future stars.

Bhubaneswar, Jan 19 (Ians) India coach Graham Reid said poor execution in the attack by his players was the reason for their failure to pull off a big win against Wales in the Fih Odisha Hockey Men’s Hockey World Cup here on Thursday, because of which they lost out on a direct berth in quarterfinals.
India needed to beat Wales by a margin of eight goals but struggled to a 4-2 win and thus finished second behind England in Pool D and will now have to go through the Crossover stage, where they will meet New Zealand.
Reid was not surprised by his forwards failing to take an early lead against Wales, who packed their defence. “If you see the England-Wales game, they did not score till the second quarter. It’s quite common against a team that plays like they do to have the first quarter bumping head against...
