The Indian men’s hockey team will leave for a crucial five-match tour of Australia on Monday as part of its final Olympic preparation, and coach Craig Fulton is aware that history is not in India’s favour but confident that the team is better prepared this time.
“Australia is the form team at the moment, so it’s always nice to test yourself against them. I have had a look at history and there have been some tours to Australia that haven’t gone well,” Fulton told The Hindu in an interaction on the sidelines of the annual Hockey India awards here on Sunday.
“But we are looking to improve that, we want to get some wins in Australia and also see where we are. It comes at a nice time because you have enough time to fix some things or keep doing the right things.”
