Indian hockey team not allowed to travel to UK
Indian hockey team was not allowed to travel to United Kingdom (UK) after the government there added India to its red list due to the new Covid-19 variant, The News reported today.
Due to the UK government’s ban, the FIH Pro League matches between India and Great Britain have been postponed.
According to a handout released by the global governing body, the Hockey Pro League matches between the two countries scheduled on May 8-9 in London have been set aside.
“FIH, Hockey India and Great Britain Hockey are monitoring the situation in a hope of rearranging these matches at a later date,” the FIH handout said.
India will, however, still travel to Europe in May to play FIH Hockey Pro League matches against Spain (May 15-16) and Germany (May 22-23) while Great Britain will host Germany (May 12-13), USA (Women, May 22-23) and Spain (Men, May 22-23).
