its sick that someone is so proud of takin part in this event as if they qualified on merit, when they got this chance just because australia pulled out of the tournament.
It's really pathetic to see how happy the IHF is to get backdoor entry into the champions trophy. Looks like that they were already begging the FIH the moment the news of the aussie pullout came through; confirming their participation even before they were invited!!
We are pleased to learn that India has accepted the invitation and has decided to participate in the tournament. We wish the young and dynamic Indian Hockey team all the very best in their preparations for the forthcoming tourney in lovely Pakistan.
