Jalandhar: As five-time tournament champions and fresh off a gold-medal win at the recent Asian Games, hosts India enter the Asian Champions Trophy (ACT) hockey tournament—beginning here on Tuesday—as the clear favorites. In the opening match, India will face Bangladesh. Notably, Punjab is hosting an international tournament after a long hiatus of 17 years; furthermore, more than half of the players in the current Indian squad hail from this very state.
