Bengaluru, April 24 (TIWN) Indian women's hockey team midfielder Nikki Pradhan said on Saturday that the girls were not looking at whether they would get to play the next tour or not due to the deteriorating Covid-19 situation but only concentrating on training for the Tokyo Olympics.
"We don't want to think about whether we will get to play the next tour or not. With the changing dynamics around the globe due to Covid-19, our chief coach tells us not to think of the issues that are not in our control. We are just happy to be training hard at the SAI (Sports Authority of India) Centre in Bengaluru," said Pradhan.
With less than 100 days to go for the Olympics, Pradhan feels the tours of Argentina and Germany earlier this year have provided the team with the impetus to prepare for the quadrennial games.
