Former India hockey captain Vasudevan Baskaran, 76, reckons national team head coach Craig Fulton missed a golden opportunity to blood new talent at the ongoing Asian Champions Trophy in Jalandhar.

“The Asian Champions Trophy is a level below the Asian Games, and it doesn’t carry any value in terms of ranking points either. Even China fielded almost an entirely new squad compared to the one they had at the Asian Games. He [Fulton] should have taken six or seven youngsters instead of seniors.
