NEW DELHI, Jan. 30 -- Former India skipper Manpreet Singh on Thursday did not even make the list of 33 core probables let alone the Indian hockey team that will take part in the Rourkela and Hobart legs of the FIH Pro League in February. HT had reported earlier this week that the 33-year-old, who has been a core member of the team ever since his debut in 2011, will not make the cut despite being in top form. The official reason being given is that the two-time Olympic bronze medallist has been rested. Other important names missing from the probables list are goalkeeper Krishan Bahadur Pathak and forward Dilpreet Singh. "Post the Hockey India League (HIL), we felt this was the right time to rotate the squad. We've rested a few senior players to manage workload while rewarding performances from players who've earned their opportunity," India chief coach Craig Fulton said. "The Pro League legs in Rourkela and Hobart are an important part of the selection process as we move towards finalising the World Cup and Asian Games squad." While managing workload can be understood, Manpreet being dropped from core probables comes as a shocker. India are due to play four games in Rourkela (vs Belgium and Argentina) from February 11-15 before they leave for Hobart where they will face hosts Australia and Spain in four more games from February 21-25. The core probables camp will be held in Rourkela from February 1-7 before a likely 24-member team is announced for the two legs. Interestingly, Manpreet is on the cusp of history. With 411 international caps, he is only one shy of the record for most India games held by former India skipper and current Hockey India (HI) president Dilip Tirkey....
