Waiting to earn India jersey again: Tirkey

Bengaluru : Dipsan Tirkey, a popular name from the India colts team that lifted the FIH Junior Men's World Cup in 2016, has had a rough patch over the past two years.
After his last appearance for the senior team in 2018 at the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup, he has been in and out of the probable list while most of 2019 he had been out of action due to a career-threatening surgery. Now, back in the reckoning, Tirkey wants to make most of the opportunity he has been provided with.
"The last two years have been very challenging for me. While I went back to representing the junior team in a few tournaments, I was mostly out of action in 2019 due to a surgery I required. It took me a while before I could return to full fitness but now that I am given another opportunity to show my potential, I want to make full use of it," stated Tirkey, who was vice captain of the India Colts team that won the World Cup held in Lucknow in 2016.
Having been selected in the senior core probable group again, Tirkey says his focus is now on executing what the chief coach expects of him and also on his drag-flicking.
"After the lockdown, we have begun activities in a slow and steady manner. We are building up our game slowly and the sessions are not very tough yet. It is more like going back to basics and I feel this is the perfect time for me to work on my drag flicking skills and I have been focused on improvising this skill," said Tirkey.
