New Delhi, February 11: National coach Harendra Singh today requested the authorities to make arrangements for frequent media interactions for the Indian hockey team, saying the forthcoming World Cup has come as a blessing for the players to get their share of fame.
Harendra’s appeal came after the Sports Authority of India restricted media from attending the Indian team’s practice sessions at the National Stadium here ahead of the February 28-March 13 World Cup on the pretext of security.
“I request the Sports Ministry, Hockey India and all parties concerned to allow the players and coaches to talk to the media atleast two-three times in a week,” he told reporters here.
“It is a big opportunity for Indian hockey and the players to get the game back to limelight,” he added.
