Rani Rampal’s treatment shows lingering 'sickness' in Indian hockey

Hindustan Times  

If what has happened in Indian hockey over the last two years – the utter and total banishment, the cold shouldering of an all-time great – had happened in Indian men’s cricket, apocalypse would have arrived. It is what has happened to former India women’s hockey captain Rani Rampal; without notice, communication or a squeak over the last two years. In India’s first-ever medal match at a junior World Cup, Rani scored three goals – in regulation, penalty shoot-out and sudden death – versus England. Post Tokyo’s emotional fourth place, rather than work with her to plan the best kind of goodbye, for the last two years Rani has been systematically excised from the team. She played one of six matches on India’s European leg of the FIH Pro League last June, was left out of the World Cup and the Birmingham CWG squads with coach Janneke Schopmann saying Rani was “not fully recovered from injury rehabilitation”.
