Hero Junior World Cup: India face Belgium in concluding practice game


The Manpreet Singh-led Indian junior men’s hockey team will lock horns with Belgium in their final practice game ahead of the 10th Hero Junior World Cup under lights at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium on Wednesday.

Earlier, India had put it across England 3-1 in their opening warm-up game. They subsequently got the better of South Africa 2-1 in their second practice tie.

These warm-ups will enable the hosts to fine-tune their preparations for the upcoming 10th Hero Junior World Cup hockey tournament, beginning at the same venue from December 6.

India will kickstart their 10th Junior World Cup campaign against formidable Netherlands on December 6 in a Pool C game – the opening day of the big-ticket event.

They play their second match against Canada on December on 7 and their final league tie against Korea on December 10.

It may be worth recalling that India had won the Junior World Cup only once in the 2011 edition in Hobart, Australia, where they thumped Argentina 6-1 in the title clash.
