India's men's and women's hockey teams have started rehearsing on hockey pitches at Sports Authority of India (Sai) centers. After staying in homes for nearly two months during a nationwide lockdown, the captains said that they have started practicing slowly slowly again. Manpreet Singh, captain of the men's hockey team, said, "We were all doing some basic fitness exercises in our hostels for the last two months. We were not rigid while returning to the pitch, but we are taking it slowly. But doing it in a very easy way without putting too much pressure. "

He said that he believes that players have become very cautious about social distance now. The captain said, "Our sessions have been organized in small groups to ensure social distance. But now everything has changed. Players now rub their hands with the sanitizer before entering the field. 'S bottle and use it during breaks. They make sure they don't share it with anyone else. "

Manpreet said, "At the same time we regularly change the grease of our stick and our temperature is recorded after every session. It is like 'New Normal' for us and we need to accept it."
