The Indian women's hockey team has announced its 24-member squad for the four-match tour of Argentina, with goalkeeper Savita Punia and drag-flicker Deepika Sehrawat making a comeback.

Savita, who has been on a break from international hockey for personal reasons, will be playing her first match since June 2025.

Deepika, who injured her hamstring before the Asia Cup last September, has undergone months of rehabilitation to regain full fitness.

The tour is a valuable opportunity for the team to give more players international exposure and test them against a strong opponent like Argentina.

India will play the matches in Buenos Aires on April 13, 14, 16, and 17, with seasoned midfielder Salima Tete continuing to lead the side.
