Hockey India has given another 48 hours to the players on strike to join the training camp. The camp will be suspended if no one opted to report for training and it will resume later with current or new players as reported by A.K. Mattoo, HI President.

HI had given the deadline of 24 hours yesterday, which is extended by another 48 hours on the request of the Federation of International Hockey (FIH) Vice-President Antonio von Ondarza during press conference.

New Delhi, Nov 18 : A rattled Hockey India (HI) president A. K. Mattoo is flying down to Pune following a reported revolt by senior players spearheaded by deposed captain Sandeep Singh against coach Jose Brasa.

The seniors are apparently unhappy with the way the Spanish coach is going about his job. Sandeep, who has pulled out of the camp complaining a back problem, seems to differ with Brasa over drag-flicking.

A source close to Sandeep said Brasa wanted the drag-flicker to use a longish, flat stick but the player is unwilling to make any change in his stick or the way he drag-flicks.
