2017, A year of controversies for Indian sport
New Delhi, Dec 30 (CRICKETNMORE) - Cricket was not the only game in India which was embroiled in controversy in 2017. There were several others as well that had their fair share of colourful moments both on and off the
Indian hockey, which seems to earn more controversies than international honours these days, saw yet another unwanted episode with the sacking of coach Roelant Oltmans.
The Dutchman had received a brief email from Hockey India (HI) informing him that his services were no longer required, ending his four-year stint with Indian hockey.
The decision came after a three-day meeting between top HI officials following India's dismal performance at the Hockey World League semi-final and the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup.
The experienced Oltmans, who was appointed as High Performance Director of Indian hockey in 2013, was installed as chief coach of the national men's team in 2016.
