Unfit Rani misses out as India name tried and tested squad for women's hockey World Cup
Rani Rampal was on Tuesday axed from the 18-member Indian women's hockey team, to be led by goalkeeper Savita Punia, for next month's FIH World Cup. Rani, an inspirational skipper and forward who led the Indian women to the historic fourth-place finish at the 2020 Olympics, was picked for the recent FIH Pro League matches in Belgium and Netherlands after recovering from a hamstring injury, which had kept her out of action after the Tokyo Games.
