The Hockey India League: Former Indian defender and dragflick icon VR Raghunath believed that Hockey India League (HIL) will play a crucial role in talent identification and at the same time will also help the domestic players to showcase their skills to the selectors.

Hockey India League is set to return after a 7-year-long hiatus. It will feature eight men’s and six women’s teams. Hockey India has also invited players from the top 15 hockey-playing nations to register their players and support staff for the season which will be held in the window sanctioned by FIH; the last week of December 2024 to the first week of February 2025.

Speaking about the importance and the revival of the Hockey India League, Raghunath said, "Hockey India League was one of the best leagues in the hockey circuit. I am excited to see all the domestic and foreign players getting involved in Hockey India League. We will have an opportunity to see a fantastic mix of top-quality players playing in one team. I am looking forward to the thrilling action."
