Yaa very much correct, I am scared for them actually rather than men team. we need to get good teams for the international practice matches or else its going to be very difficult.

We can play as many practice matches as we want. But nothing comes close to actual tournaments. Narinder Batra's ego has ensured that we lose out on much needed exposure and practice for both the teams.

No, anyone that reads the format closely will arrive to this same conclusion: it makes absolutely no difference. Both indian teams have a high ranking so there's almost no chance they won't qualify for the olympic play-offs. Even if both teams finish last place in this hockey series they will still reach the play-offs 99% sure because there are some remaining spots that will be given by ranking. So hockey series doesn't matter for India.

 

 

The only actual difference is that while waiting for the play-offs your teams will be "warming up" with the likes of Mexico, Poland or Fiji instead of Netherlands, Germany or Australia if they were in the pro league.... 

 

The other big difference is how will the rankings be affected by the hockey pro league and the hockey series. I beleive FIH has still NOT announced how the rankings will work. While India has great rankings right now, if playing in pro league itself can get a lot of points then it can be a problem for India - but yeah, unlikely.

 

And yeah, difference in competition level can be quite a big thing when it gets to the actual olympics (think we'll be fine in the playoffs)..
