Asian Champions Trophy Hockey: Schedule, Squads, Live Streaming Details - All You Need To Know

India are the defending champions at the event, having won the 2023 title as hosts on the back of a clinical, unbeaten campaign in Chennai. They will vie for top honours again, against Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Japan and hosts China.

Hockey India on Wednesday (August 28) named an 18-member squad led by ace drag-flicker Harmanpreet Singh for the tournament, with Krishan Bahadur Pathak expectedly being promoted to main goalkeeper duties following PR Sreejesh's international retirement.

The legendary Sreejesh bowed out with a second successive Olympic bronze medal around his neck, as India beat Spain 2-1 in the third-place game at Paris 2024.

Experienced midfielder Vivek Sagar Prasad has been named the vice-captain in place of Hardik Singh, who has been rested along with Mandeep Singh, Lalit Upadhyay, Shamsher Singh and Gurjant Singh.

The Asian Champions Trophy will also be a huge chance for promising drag-flicker Jugraj Singh, who was in Paris as a standby and will look to demonstrate his credentials alongside the red-hot Harmanpreet.

In all, 10 players from the Paris Olympics squad are part of this team.

“This is an important campaign for us to ensure we build on our ranking points. The team has just returned to the camp after all the celebrations following our performance in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The past few weeks have truly been incredible with all the love and adulation for the team and we hope this support will continue all through our future campaigns,” head coach Craig Fulton said.

“The new Olympic cycle for us begins with the Asian Champions Trophy and we are ready for the challenge. While we have rested a few players from the squad that played in Paris, we have brought in a few youngsters who have done well in training and have earned the opportunity to play in Asian Champions Trophy.

"We will have Gurjot (Singh) making his international debut, and I believe this is a great opportunity for youngsters who have received a call-up to shine. As a team, we want to continue to dominate in the Asian continent and we will go to China to retain the title,” the coach added.
