But the Indian women won a bronze in Birmingham, its first medal at the CWG in 16 years. "We are working on improving our team coordination.

We are also working on our finishing as a squad so that we are extremely clinical when the chances come our way which was the only area, we lacked in at the World Cup and CWG 2022," Navneet said. "As a squad we have identified these areas and have already started working on improving them so that we are ready before the next tournament comes around," she said in a Hockey India release.

Navneet, who was an important member of the Indian attack at the quadrennial sporting event, spoke about the team's future ambitions and how she sees herself playing a bigger role in the squad moving forward. "The medal at the CWG brought us great joy as a team, even though our team was feeling a little down after the loss in the semifinal," said the player from Haryana, who has played more than 100 matches for India. "It was special to see that everyone in the squad motivated each other to concentrate on the bronze medal game and you could feel the togetherness of the squad as we got laser focused for the bronze medal tie.
