It is going to be tough for the defending Champions India as this year the competition is going to be more even then earlier. Australia, England, South Korea, Pakistan and New Zealand are above India in the FIH rankings. But it will be a great practice for the Indian team who has to play Champions Trophy later this year and the Olympic Qualifiers in the early next year.
Till now there is no news of the broadcasters of the tournament in India, and it can be assumed that like last year, this year also there is going to be no broadcaster and the only way for the fans is through text commentary.
