NEW DELHI: When Australian Tom Craig's name came on the Hockey India League (HIL) auction table earlier this month, there were murmurs about his eligibility because of the ban imposed on him by Hockey Australia after a drugs-related incident during the Paris Olympics. However, those worries have allayed as the ban is only for "events that are organised by and affiliated with Hockey Australia".
He has been bought by HIL's Chennai franchise, the Tamil Nadu Dragons, for a price of INR 20 lakh to play in the tournament that is making its return to the hockey calendar after seven years.
