The players will undergo a preparatory camp from March 9 at Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium here. Both Sandeep and Gurbaj have remained out-of-favour since India’s disastrous Olympics outing in 2012.

Other players in the list include midfielders Gurinder Singh, Vikram Kanth, Jasjit Singh and young forwards Talwinder Singh and Lalit Upadhyay. The probables were shortlisted for the camp by Roelant Oltmans, Director High Performance, Terry Walsh, Chief Coach Senior Men Hockey Team and Harbinder Singh Government Observer during a meeting held on February 25.
