After a seven month hiatus, international hockey is set to resume on September 22 when the men's and women's teams of Belgium and Germany face off in the Hockey Pro League. However, any return to competition appears a long way off for India's hockey teams. Indian men's team coach Graham Reid only sighs when asked when his team could get international competition. "I'm sick of trying to predict what will happen in the next week or two," he says.
