Hockey: 'I Patiently Waited For My Chance', Says Women's Team Forward Sharmila On India Comeback
FIH Hockey Pro League: Indian women's hockey team forward Sharmila Devi, who made her return after close to nine months in the national side, reflected on the time away from the side and said she stayed mentally strong and patiently waited for her chance while working hard on her game.
After representing the country last in May 2023 during a test series against Australia, Sharmila found herself playing in Indian colours after close to nine months when she took the field against China in February 2024 during the FIH Pro League 2023-24.
Speaking about how she endured such a long time away from the national side, the young forward from Haryana said, "It wasn’t easy. I didn’t get to play for the national side for close to nine months. After the test series against Australia, I got to play for the team in the FIH Hockey Pro League in February 2024, missing out on the Asian Games and Olympic Qualifiers. Those were trying times but I stayed strong mentally and patiently waited for my chance while training hard."
