in hockey pro league in what criteria the participating teams are decided?

No objective criteria, just a mix between Ranking and Commercial interest decided by fih executive board. As you can see in women's for example, belgium was picked above better ranked spain and korea just because they are a bigger market for hockey.

Even Indian women team had this advantage in selection but alas we squandered the chance and withdrew from the league.

India men are asian champions, which means China is qualified for the World Cup (despite being only 7th in Asia...) and South Korea is out for the first time since 1990.

 

Today started the african championships in Egypt (both M & W), in women competition there is not much interest as South Africa should easily win, but on the men's side home nation Egypt must defend their world league quota by winning the tournament since any other nation winning this (most likely South Africa) would see them out from the World Cup. oh, and Zambia pulled out last minute and without even noticing anyone (!) from both competitions. A classic of African/Oceanian hockey.... probably a FIH suspension coming soon for them.
