Hockey coach Oltmans to use multiple captains in Rio
With India going into the Olympics with only one goalkeeper in the 16, they can ill-afford to lose Sreejesh owing to cards or penalties. To counter this, the senior players will take turns to wear the captain's arm band.
"From now on, we will share captaincy. Sreejesh is the captain but he will never wear the band during matches. Sardar, Raghunath, Sunil and Mandeep will wear it. We worked on the group of captains to make sure on and off the pitch, more responsibility is taken up by more players," elaborated Oltmans.
