As the captain of the Indian Women’s Hockey Team, I am thrilled beyond words to know that the Asian Champions Trophy for women is set to take place in Ranchi. This announcement is a testament to the progress and recognition that women’s hockey has achieved not just in India but across Asia. It fills us with immense pride to represent our nation on such a significant platform, Savita said.

As the countdown to the Women’s Asian Champions Trophy Hockey 2023 begins, hockey enthusiasts and supporters eagerly await the spectacle that promises to showcase the prowess and sportsmanship of teams from across Asia.
