India is set to face a tough group stage at the Hockey World Cup in Odisha in 2023, where it has been placed in group D, along with England, Wales, and Spain. While the Indian team holds the top rank among the 4 contenders as World No. 5, qualifying past the group stage is expected to be a challenge. England are ranked directly below, and have a record of beating India, with their high scoring abilities. Spain, ranked at 8, are in better form since the hiring of former Netherlands coach Max Caldas, and Wales, ranked at 16, are known to put up a spirited performance against top teams.

 

While group winners qualify directly for the quarterfinals, teams in the second and third position face further play-offs to secure a berth. Based on the draw, Pool D seems the most challenging with teams of equal quality. The other Pools are Pool A with Australia, France, Argentina and South Africa, Pool B with Germany, Belgium, Japan and South Korea, and Pool D with the Netherlands, New Zealand, Malaysia and Chile.
