Amit Kumar. Have you heard of him? Probably no. But he is latest obscure player to get Indian colours. He is presently in Darwin, helping India to lose matches in lesser margin.
While all the world is engaged in Jothikumaran’s images on television and the comics that followed his alleged wrong-doing, something happening on sports side need worth mentioning.
Hyderbad based Amit Kumar is in the Darwin 4-Nation. We are at loss to understand how this unknown player has all of a sudden made it to the national side.
It is interesting to note, Amit was not even in the preparatory camps numerous of which had been held by the Carvalho and his staff.
Amit did not play any other age group tournaments also, and in particular not in the Premier Hockey League as well.
Why and how Carvalho and Co. took him, and how the IHF allowed this is not known.
