Defender Rohit has been named captain of the Indian junior men's hockey team, with Shardanand Tiwari as his deputy in a 20-member squad which will tour Europe from May 20-29.
India will play five matches across three nations — Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands — during the tour, as part of Hockey India’s initiative to help the team gain exposure and experience.
"We have been training hard at our camp and have developed an understanding of each other’s gameplay," said captain Rohit in a Hockey India release.
