The committee also plays a central role in liaising with the Athletes’ Commission of the IOC and other sporting organisations to enable the sharing of information and research and ultimately developing the game of hockey.

“Athletes have always been at the centre of all sporting endeavours of the FIH. When FIH launched its new ‘Empowerment and Engagement’ strategy, the ‘athletes first’ approach was enshrined in its core, further showcasing our commitment towards the welfare and well-being of hockey players worldwide,” FIH president Tayyab Ikram said in a release following the appointments.

“The Athletes Committee will play a crucial role in the execution of this vision and I welcome all our hockey athletes that have been appointed to the committee. I look forward to working closely with all of you to safeguard the present and improve the future, as we bring the joy of hockey to everyone around the world.” Newly appointed co-chair Sreejesh said it is a big honour as well as a responsibility for him as an athlete.
