**New Delhi, October 19:** Indian hockey captain Harmanpreet Singh expressed his excitement for the upcoming two-match series against Germany, scheduled for October 23rd and 24th at the Major Dhyanchand Stadium. The series marks the return of men’s international hockey to the national capital after a decade.
“This series is not just about the two teams playing; it’s about reviving the spirit of hockey in Delhi,” Harmanpreet stated in a press release. “We hope this will inspire more young players from the region to take up the game.”
The captain also highlighted the significance of playing in front of home fans at the historic Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium. “Playing in front of home fans in Delhi after so many years is truly special for us as a team. The stadium holds a lot of history and memories, and to lead the team here will be a huge honour.”
The series presents a crucial opportunity to test the team further following their Asian Champions Trophy triumph in China earlier this month. “Germany is one of the top teams in world hockey, and playing against them will be a great challenge for us,” Harmanpreet explained. “It’s important for our preparation as we gear up for major tournaments ahead.”
The series promises to be an exciting spectacle, with both teams eager to showcase their skills and push their limits ahead of upcoming international tournaments.
