Perth, May 24 -- The Indian women's hockey team will be on a tour Down Under to play Australia in a four-match series scheduled to start on Tuesday.
All four Australia vs India women's hockey matches will be played at the Perth Hockey Stadium.
The tour will serve as important preparation for India ahead of the FIH Hockey Women's Nations Cup, scheduled to take place in Auckland from June 15 to 21.
The upcoming Nations Cup will be India's opportunity to earn back promotion to the FIH Pro League for the 2026-27 season, which will also be a hockey qualifier for the LA 2028 Olympics.
India head into the tour on the back of a strong showing in Argentina earlier this year, where they held the world No. 2 team to a 2-2 draw.
Ninth in the world...
