Hockey India (HI) selectors will be picking 33 probables for the tour Netherlands from which the squad will be picked for the tournament which starts on April 26.

The one-day selection trials on Tuesday will be overseen by Chief coach Michael Nobbs.

With the India-Pakistan series called off, high performance manager Roelant Oltmans was asked to organize a tour by HI as an alternative. 18 players are to be chosen for the tour which includes matches with the national team and top clubs, it is understood.

However, the proposal is yet to be cleared by Sports Authority of India (SAI).

“The file is yet to reach SAI. A decision is likely soon,” sources told TOI.

Around 77 players – 33 seniors and 44 juniors, including nine who turned out for WSH last year – are in the camps in SAI South Centre. The juniors are being trained by their new chief coach, South African Gregg Clark.

“The seniors are preparing for the World League semifinals in Rotterdam in June and the juniors are working towards the World Cup at the end of the year in New Delhi,” sources said.
