Indian juniors ready to face off England at Bisham Abbey

Ever improving Indian juniors, led by flawless defender Dipsan Tirkey, will take on England colts in a four-match series starting from tomorrow at National Sports Centre, Bisham Abbey in England.

Indian team is already here after playing two test matches against Scotland Senior at Lilleshall National Sports Centre located near Birmingham.

India have won both the initial encounters comfortably against the Scots Seniors, who are preparing for HWL round 1 to get off at home in Glasgow early September.

The Scots also played a friendly against England consisting of mostly juniors but barely beat them 2-1.

The English colts being trained by Kwan Browne almost for a year from now is confident that the series will be interesting and entertaining though his objective will be to integrate the players against such a good side as India.

“Since we last played last together, three players are returning to the side now after injury. My foremost objective will be to integrate them into the team, improve and experience the contest.

“India is such a good side that the contests will be interesting and entertaining”.

“At the end of the series, we will have liked to continue our form of Johor Bahru tournament (Sultan of Johor Cup) where we beat India on shoot out in the final ”.

“Since then, Indian team has vastly improved, yes we also improved. Indians are playing good games”.
