Holcombe players Rohan Bhuhi and Nick Bandurak have both been named in Great Britain’s FIH Pro League squad for their fixtures from Saturday, 1st to Thursday, 6th June.
Captain Bandurak played a key part in helping GB qualify for the Olympics earlier this year while Bhuhi, a new arrival at Holcombe Park, could make his first GB appearance since his debut Pro League mini-tournament in Argentina in December, where he won two caps.
New Head Coach and Director of Hockey Kwan Browne will also be assistant to Great Britain head coach Paul Revington.
Revington’s side will take on Ireland, India, Spain and the Ireland again in this set of fixtures, with more matches to come from 8th-12th June ahead of Pro League legs in Amsterdam and then Utrecht as preparation for the Olympics steps up.
Former Holcombe players Phil Roper and Sam Ward are also included in the men’s squad, with Sarah Jones, Miriam Pritchard, Sarah Robertson and Charlotte Watson all selected by David Ralph for the women’s matches.
Revington told Great Britain Hockey: “We’ve selected a strong squad for the first four matches of Pro League London, and I am looking forward to seeing them execute the match plans for the challenging matches we have ahead.
“As a squad, we always love returning to London and competing against some of the world’s best hockey nations with home support.
“This year will be special with a number of sold-out crowds that we will be playing in front of.”
