The 33 players for this preparatory camp are very good and up to the mark to take on the challenges of the international tournaments. Also the European Tour has shown good results and has proven to be a useful tour for us. The team did not lose by a huge margin, rather a good fight was put by the entire team.

The weather at Hague will not be a problem as it is expected to be around 20 degrees and hence a pleasant temperature to play in”.
