Some relief to see Sandeep & Shivendra dropped, but Nitin, Akashdeep, Gurmail & Dharamvir are still in the list. Akashdeep stays but Mandeep is dropped!! What kind of nonsense is this?? Perhaps, the question should be; what connections does Akashdeep have??Goalkeepers: PR Sreejesh, PT Rao, Sreenivasa Rao Katharu, Nanak Singh, Naveen Kumar, Jagdeep Dayal, Abhinay Kumar Pandey.

Some new guys, but most of the IHF/WSH players are still not being considered. Although Manjit Kullu and Vikas Pillay maybe exceptions. Pleased to see both of them get a chance. Would have preferred Bharat Chikkara and Roshan Minz as well from the WSH group. No Malak Singh or Lalit. maybe they are being 'saved' for the JWC.
