New Delhi, Aug 19 (PTI) Indian women’s hockey legend Rani Rampal has claimed that there are many unfit players in the team picked for the Asian Games, and asserted that she is in no mood to retire.
As per the provisional squad issued by Hockey India, Rani is not part of the Hangzhou-bound team despite making a strong comeback from a hamstring injury after the Tokyo Olympics, where the Indian women recorded their best-ever performance by finishing fourth under her leadership.
On return, Rani emerged as the top-scorer in the last National Games in Gujarat, scoring 18 goals in Haryana’s triumphant campaign.
Despite the snub, Rani doesn’t have any regrets and said the sport has given her everything in life.
“I am in that stage of life where I don’t have to prove anything. I have achieved almost everything in life through hockey but still I felt the National Games was a chance for me to make a comeback.
“I tried and it happened, I played in the National Games, became the top-scorer but still I was not considered. So there was no performance issue,” Rani told
