: After training under the sweltering heat in Kuala Lumpur, which reaches over 33 degrees Celsius, the national hockey team didn’t expect the weather during the Asian Games here would be rainy and dip about 10 degrees Celsius lower.
Head coach Arul Selvaraj said the cool weather is considered perfect for hockey, being a highly competitive endurance outdoor sport. “This kind of weather is very beautiful for hockey... I think if it rains and they sprinkle a lot of water, then the pitch will become heavy and waterlogged. On the Group B opening match against Thailand tomorrow morning, the national 2022 Male Coach of the Year award winner said the Speedy Tigers had made plans on how to counter the world number 54 team’s strategies.“Usually, in the first game of any tournament, jittery will happen. But I think the boys are fine, enjoyed the environment, and I hope they will enjoy the game and tournament.
