Arjun Halappa shares his thoughts on Dilip Tirkey’s absence from the Hockey World Cup and why he believes the Hockey India president should be present at a major tournament.

In this conversation with Sundeep Misra and Arup Ghosh, Halappa explains the importance of international interactions at World Cups and why Hockey India should work towards bringing Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and England to India for Test series.

He also calls for a revival of Test-match hockey to strengthen the connection between the sport and its fans.
