Hockey India lifts ban on Gurbaj Singh
New Delhi, Oct 24 (ANI): Hockey India on Saturday lifted the ban on midfielder Gurbaj Singh in just over two months time. The senior Indian hockey player was banned by the national body for nine months on August 10 for reportedly indulging in groupism and creating disharmony in the team. The decision had threatened the midfielder's dream of playing in the next year's Rio Olympics. Chairman of the Hockey India's Disciplinary Committee Harvinder Singh said Gurbaj, now, could play Olympics with the ban on him lifted. Gurbaj is considered as a workhorse and if he mends his ways, India will strengthen its midfield options.
