Ordos (China), Sep 2: Bogged down by controversies in the past few months, the Indian hockey team begins its campaign in the Asian Champions Trophy by taking on hosts China here tomorrow, marking the start of its preparations for the upcoming Olympic qualifiers.
It has been a turbulent last six months for Indian hockey, with two federations slugging it out in court and then coming together in a compromise merger, two key players - Sandeep Singh and Sardara Singh - dropping out citing issues with the management and injuries ruling out star players such as Tushar Khandekar, Shivendra Singh and Arjun Halappa.
Like hockey is trying to find its feet among the Mongol population in Ordos, so is new coach Michael Nobbs with the Indian hockey team.
