Hockey India announced the 33-member Core Probables list on Saturday for the forthcoming Senior Women National Camp at the Sports Authority of India, Bengaluru Campus.
The players will report to Chief Coach Sjoerd Marijne for the Training and Conditioning Camp which starts from November 18 and will conclude on December 15.
The Indian team will focus on fitness, ball-handling speed and strength during the camp. They have booked their spot in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games after defeating the USA on an aggregate score of 6-5 in two matches.

The upcoming year will be a busy one for us, and that's why this period is important. Besides this, we will evaluate our performances at the FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers Odisha and what can we learn from those two matches," Hockey India's official website quoted Marijne as saying.
