There are individuals who still follows the game of hockey and play it regularly. What is lacking is the infrastructure required for the game. There are not many astro-turf pitches provided to the players. They practise and play this game on grass at the national level. Also, sponsors are not willing to pour in money in hockey. Whereas, even in football,billiards,snooker,golf and other sports sponsors are willing. All the factors combined with lack of tough competition at national level makes things difficult for India to regain its glory.
