After much dilly-dallying, India will be considering senior team players for the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, the coaches of the women’s and men’s hockey teams indicated on Tuesday. “There will be trials for the Commonwealth Games and they (senior players) will be in the mix,” Reid told The Indian Express. Schopman said: “Because of the Asian Games postponement, all of our core group players are now available.”The postponement of the Asian Games to at least next year has freed up an otherwise packed calendar for both Indian teams. The CWG will begin 11 days after the World Cup concludes on July 17. “There might be some changes (to the team) from the World Cup selection, there might not be… I really have to look into it.”
