India's Junior Women's hockey squad travels to Australia for competitive preparation ahead of next year's FIH Junior Women's World Cup. Coach Tushar Khandker leads the team through five scheduled matches at Canberra's National Hockey Centre from September 26 through October 2. The tour serves as assessment opportunity to pinpoint weaknesses before December's World Cup tournament in Santiago, Chile. Recent European competition saw victories over Belgium and Australia plus a narrow shootout defeat against Netherlands.
Captain Jyoti Singh guides the squad after intensive training sessions completed in Bangalore. Three opening fixtures pit India against Australia's junior team on September 26, 27, and 29. The final two matches feature Canberra Chill from Australia's premier Hockey One League on September 30 and October 2. Khandker emphasizes structural improvements and technical skill development following reflective analysis of previous international performances.
